But this research has frequently failed to identify the social, psychological and linguistic processes that underlie sex differences in language. Philip Smith adopts here a completely fresh approach. In studying the various roles that language, speech and communication play in relations between the sexes, he identifies and illuminates the processes involved- such as stereotyping, social categorization and discrimination. |
