Abstract:
Public Discourses of Gay Men brings queer linguistics, an aspect of sociolinguistics, together with corpus linguistics to investigate the way gay male identities are constructed in the public domain. The book uses data from a range of publicity available sources, both written and spoken, to analyze the language surrounding homosexuality.
