230194 Language and Gender (S) (SoSe 2026)

Contents, comment

In this class we'll be looking at the way language shapes people's gender identity and vice versa, for example gay/lesbian/queer language and gender inclusive language. We'll look both at potential markers of gendered language (on the segmental and discourse level) as well as at how the way people talked/wrote - past and present - about language and gender and how this has changed over the past decades and centuries.
