Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025

Researching Language, Gender and Sexuality at Work offers an accessible guide to conducting linguistic research in gender, sexuality and work. Written with the learner in mind, it supports the reader through the research process and gives them the tools and confidence to carry out their own projects. Each chapter focuses on one specific area of research, offering a good understanding of critical issues investigated by gender, sexuality and work scholars across different fields. Yoong sets out a clear and easy-to-follow structure, starting with real-life events and problems, followed by a review of significant and relevant literature from linguistics and beyond. Key theories and concepts from multiple disciplines are carefully unpacked and illustrated to show how they can help to frame, explain and illuminate the issues discussed. Methodologically diverse, each chapter introduces one or more analytical approaches and frameworks and what they can contribute to the study of specific workplace phenomena. Readers are offered a step-by-step guide on how to analyse written, spoken and visual texts systematically. Potential misconceptions are highlighted and clarified. Divided into self-contained chapters for independent and flexible learning, this essential book is ideal for students of linguistics, sociolinguistics and other fields of study, such as media studies, sociology and organisation studies.
