This book includes discussions of trans/non - binary/genderqueer identities embodiment new media and the role of language and interaction in sexual harassment assault and rape. Drawing on an international range of examples to illustrate key points this book addresses the questions of: how language categorizes the gender/sexuality world in both grammar and interaction; how speakers display create and orient to gender sexuality and desire in interaction; how and why people display different ways of speaking based on their gender/sexual identities. Aimed at students with no background in linguistics or gender studies this book is essential reading for anyone studying language gender and sexuality for the first time.
