This volume addresses the politicization of linguistic features indexing sexual and gender non-normativity at the phonological, morphological, and discursive levels. In the context of masculinist, heteronormative, and transphobic backlash around the world, these groundbreaking studies adopt queer, trans, and feminist linguistic perspectives to examine how normativity is resisted and identity is stylized, negotiated, and reproduced in everyday text and talk. Part 1 focuses on self-determination/identification through phonetic and other resources. Part 2 focuses on debates over language reform and change. Part 3 examines the contestation of gender ideology using critical linguistic analytical tools.
