Gender, Discourse, and "Gender and Discourse."

Davis, Hayley

Language & Communication, v17 n4 p353-57 Oct 1997

A critic of Deborah Tannen's book "Gender and Discourse" responds to comments made about her critique, arguing that the book's analysis of the relationship of gender and discourse tends to seek, and perhaps force, explanations only in those terms. Another linguist's analysis of similar phenomena is found to be more rigorous. (MSE)
