Reviews
'... this volume provides a panorama of language use in the media representation of gender on the basis of relatively large groups of films. It reveals to us the value of sociolinguistic study on scripted media. It is of great significance for those engaged in linguistic research and media analysis, offering a viable paradigm for media criticism, and is also a valuable resource to the general public interested in language and gender in popular media.'
