Recensioner i media

“Gender, discourse and ideology in Italian brings forth a theoretical discussion of key concepts, such as gender, ideology, and feminism. It also provides data on how Italians actually respond to gendered language. … These matters deserve attention and can be further exploited in future research.” (Erika Coachman, Language in Society, Vol. 49 (2), 2020)
