Language and Woman's Place

Robin Tolmach Lakoff

4.9/5 (13024 ratings)

Description:"In this original investigation, Robin Lakoff uncovers those roots of our language that classify and delineate the sexes. Why are parallel words--one applying to masculine beings, the other to feminine--not also parallel in their range of use and connotation? Why have "bachelor/spinster" or "master/mistress? come to mean such widely different things? "Language and woman's place" points out this parallelism as symptomatic of the nonparallelism in the roles of the sexes and as further reinforcement of a social disparity."--Descripción del editor.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
