How Gender Shapes the World
Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald (Distinguished Professor and Director of the Language and Culture Research Centre, James Cook University)
This book focuses on how gender in its many guises - Linguistic, Natural, Social - is reflected in human languages, how it features in myths and metaphors, and the role it plays in human cognition. Examples are drawn from all over the world, with a special focus on Aikhenvald’s extensive fieldwork in Amazonia and New Guinea.
