An Interdisciplinary Bibliography on Language, Gender and Sexuality (20002011)
This comprehensive, state-of-the-art bibliography documents the most recent research activity in the vibrant field of language, gender and sexuality. It provides experts in the field and students in tertiary education with access to language-centred resources on gender and sexuality and is, therefore, an ideal research companion. The main part of the bibliography lists 3,454 relevant publications (monographs, edited volumes, journal articles and contributions to edited volumes) that have been published within the period from 2000 to 2011. It unites work done in linguistics with that of neighbouring disciplines, covering studies dealing with a broad range of languages and cultures around the globe. Alphabetical listing and a keyword index facilitate finding relevant work by author and subject matter. The e-book version additionally enables users to search the entire document for specific terms. Sections on earlier bibliographies and general reference works on language, gender and sexuality complete the compilation.
Multilingualism and Pluricentricity
This volume explores linguistic diversity and complexity in different urban contexts, many of which have never been subject to significant sociolinguistic inquiry. A novel mixture of cities of varying size from around the world is studied, from megacities to smaller cities on the national periphery. All chapters discuss either the multilingualism or the pluricentric aspect of the linguistic diversity in urban areas, most focussing on one urban centre. The book showcases multiple approaches ranging from a quantitative investigation based partly on census data, to qualitative studies flowing, for example, from extensive ethnographic work or discourse analysis. The diverse theoretical backgrounds and methodological approaches in the individual chapters are complemented by two chapters outlining the current trends and debates in the sociolinguistic research on urban multilingualism and pluricentricity and suggesting some possible directions for future investigations in this field.The book thus provides a broad overview of sociolinguistic research of multilingual places and pluricentric languages.
Genus und Geschlecht in europäischen Sprachen
Über einen geschlechtergerechten Sprachgebrauch wird in Deutschland nun schon seit über 40 Jahren diskutiert. In Folge der Verbreitung gegenderter Formen (Wählende) und grascher Sonderzeichen (Dozent*in) ist der Ton der Debatte deutlich rauer geworden; die beiden ,Lager' stehen sich inzwischen nahezu unversöhnlich gegenüber und reden nicht selten aneinander vorbei. Dieser Sammelband vereint Beiträge zu elf europäischen Sprachen, in denen sprachgeschichtliche Aspekte und die gegenwärtige Debatte so wertneutral wie möglich und unter Vermeidung von Polemik behandelt werden. Ziel des Bandes ist es, Denkanstöße zum komplexen Verhältnis zwischen Genus und Geschlecht zu bieten und auf diese Weise zu einer gelasseneren und respektvolleren Debatte beizutragen. Einen Einstieg in das Thema bietet der erste Beitrag zum Gendern in der Antike; es folgen Untersuchungen zu den Sprachen Deutsch, Englisch, Niederländisch, Norwegisch, Schwedisch, Französisch, Italienisch, Spanisch, Russisch, Tschechisch und Finnisch.
Gender Across Languages
This is the fourth volume of a comprehensive reference work which provides systematic descriptions of the manifestations of gender in languages of diverse areal, typological and socio-cultural affiliations. To the 30 languages already analysed in previous volumes, Vol. 4 adds another 12 languages whose gendered structures have received little or no academic attention in the past. Again, the collection includes a broad spectrum of languages: It contains languages with and without grammatical gender, a language with noun classification and a classifier language; larger national languages as well as smaller languages with minority status; and, of course, members of diverse language families, i.e. Indo-European as well as Finno-Ugrian, Iroquois, Tai-Kadai and Niger-Congo. The volume illustrates the tremendous variation found in the area of gender representation across languages. At the same time, it will provide the much-needed material required for an explicitly comparative approach to linguistic manifestations of gender.

Multilingual Europe
As Europe continues to expand and integrate through the European Union, it faces the challenge of ever increasing multilingual and multicultural contact, within and across its borders. This volume presents recent research on European language policy, language contact and multiculturalism that explores how Europe is meeting this challenge. Inspired by intersections and conflicts in language and cultural identity in Europe, the volume transcends disciplinary boundaries by enhancing sociolinguistic research with chapters on cultural identity and language in contemporary European cinema. The book considers the relationships between language and cultural identity in Europe at a time of increasing multicultural complexity, with contributions on Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Ukraine, and the linguistic and imaginative spaces between and beyond. The volume highlights the ongoing significance of language and identity for an expanding Europe, and the ways in which situations of linguistic hybridity, interlocution and language contact continue to define Europe and its others.
