- Description
- This volume investigates the tensions and adaptations that occur when processes of globalization bring one system of gay or lesbian language into contact with another. Topics included: old versus new sexual vocabularies, the rhetoric of gay-oriented magazines and news media, verbal and nonverbalized sexual imagery in poetry and popular culture, and the linguistic consequences of the globalized gay rights movement.
