    Abstract

    Gender in interaction is a subject area broadly concerned with the ways language in use encodes, performs, and organizes gender and sexuality. The manifestation and realization of gender and sexual identities in language are studied in order to better understand the pervasive ways they organize social life and how they structure patterns of advantage and disadvantage. The field has undergone significant changes since its emergence in the 1970s, most notably away from investigating generalized gender differences.
