(LANGUAGE, POWER AND SOCIAL PROCESS 6)

This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of
second language learning, multilingualism and gender. An impressive
array of papers situated within a feminist poststructuralist framework
demonstrates how this framework allows for a deeper understanding of
second language learning, a number of language contact phenomena,
intercultural communication, and critical language pedagogy. The
volume has wide appeal to students and scholars in the fields of
language and gender, sociolinguistics, SLA, anthropology, and language
education.
