Language and Desire: Encoding Sex, Romance and Intimacy Book

This original collection of papers explores the distinctive features and patterns of the language we use to talk about and express romantic and sexual desire. Characterized by a rich variety of approaches, Language and Desire engages issues in critical linguistics, women's studies and gender studies to analyze this discourse and suggest ways in which it shapes and reflects our attitudes to diverse desires. Essays cover the language used to encode romantic and sexual desire, the attitudes and assumptions about romantic and sexual desire embodied in English, and the relationship between language and identity construction. Contributors include Sara Mills, Joanna Channell, Mary Talbot and Michael Hoey.Read More
