Pronoun Envy —— Literary Uses of Linguistic Gender

----- 代名词嫉妒：语言性别的文学用途

ISBN: 9780195138528 出版年：2000 页码：248 Livia, Anna Oxford University Press

In this interdisciplinary book, Livia examines a broad corpus of written texts in English and French, concentrating on those texts which problematize the traditional functioning of the linguistic gender system. They range from novels and prose poems to film scripts and personal testimonies, and in time from the nineteenth century to the present. Her goal is to show that rather than being a case of misguided envy, battles over gendered language are central to feminist concerns. This fresh and exciting scholarship will appeal to linguists and scholars in literary and gender studies.
