Language, Gender, and Professional Writing : Theoretical Approaches and Guidelines for Nonsexist Usage
Overview
Language, Gender, and Professional Writing explores sexist language in depth -- its origins, its effect, the related controversies -- and provides sensible and sensitive guidelines for nondiscriminatory speech and writing. Designed for scholars, teachers, students, professionals, and general readers concerned with language, this book demonstrates the importance and value of avoiding biased language and stimulates its readers to think of language as a rich resource offering many alternatives to objectionable usage. "This unique book ... represents the best scholarship in the field...". Choice "Although many existing guidelines for nonsexist language provide alternatives for authors, few match the sophistication of this book in addressing the problems encountered in attempting to rid scholarly writing of sexist expression".
