Cambridge Topics in English Language: Language and Gender Author/s: Felicity Titjen Language and Gender is an introduction to the English language as a vital, dynamic force in understanding gender. It is suitable for students at advanced level and beyond. Written with input from the Cambridge English Corpus, it looks at the way English has adapted – through words, meanings and grammar – to represent different views and beliefs about gender. Using short activities to help explain analysis methods, this book guides students through major modern issues and concepts. It summarises key concerns and modern findings, while providing inspiration for language investigations and non-examined assessments (NEAs) with research suggestions. Features: Instruction in analysis techniques and research methodology, as well as examples of academic writing at an accessible level, give students models to follow for their own work. Short activities and exam-style questions provide practice and help students get a deeper understanding of key concepts. Examples from the Cambridge English Corpus give students access to prestigious academic global English research, as well as insight into corpus linguistics and techniques for corpus creation and analysis. Wider reading suggestions guide students towards broader topic exposure, encouraging them to research areas that interest them. Longer research tasks encourage a greater depth of application and provide inspiration for non-examined assessment (NEA).
