This book presents cross-cultural research on gender as it is lexically andsocially categorized in electronic media. For the purposes of the study,the authors have compiled a corpus of gender terms from online thesaurusesto show how new technologies interact with gender categorizations indifferent languages, and how these are related to their respective cultureand society.

Each language is examined within the same theoretical framework, functionalsemantics, focusing on lexicon. This common empirical ground facilitatescross-language comparison. The contributors examine languages from aroundthe world, including the Indo-European, Semitic, Uralic and Austro-Asiaticfamilies.
