Abstract

In this introductory text, Ruth Ayaß presents an overview of the state of research and the important issues on the topic of Communication and Gender (Kommunikation und Geschlecht). She thus shows if and how masculine and feminine speech styles can be differentiated and how different genders come into being through interaction, or more specifically, through communicative processes. The volume is excellently suited for use as a textbook in sociological and linguistic disciplines while also offering important points of departure for constructivist gender research.
