Women, Men and Language has long been established as a seminal text in the field of language and gender, providing an account of the many ways in which they intersect. Jennifer Coates explores linguistic gender differences and introduces the reader to a wide range of sociolinguistic research in the field.

It continues to be essential reading for any student or researcher working in the area of language and gender.
Jennifer Coates is Emeritus Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Roehampton, UK.
