Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Drawing on material from the fields of anthropology, communication studies, linguistics, medicine and psychology, this study begins by revealing the differences between homosexual and heterosexual language, then moves on to explore contemporary issues and debates from the mid-1990s onwards.
MoreLong description:
The Language and Sexuality Reader is the first of its kind to bring together material from the fields of anthropology, communication studies, linguistics, medicine and psychology in an examination of the role of sexuality in written and spoken language. Organized into thematic sections, the Reader addresses:
- early documentation of vocabulary used by male homosexuals and later work on the existence of a discourse style signifying gay identity
- the use of language by individuals to present themselves as sexual and gendered subjects
- the way language reflects, reinforces or challenges cultural norms defining what is 'natural' and desirable in the sphere of sex
- the verbal communication of sexual desire in different settings, genres and media.
The Language and Sexuality Reader includes extracts from: Hideko Abe, Laura M. Ahearn, Rusty Barrett, Deborah Cameron, Kathryn Campbell-Kibler, Donald W. Cory, Justine Coupland, Louie Crew, James Darsey, Penelope Eckert, Susan Ehrlich, Joseph J. Hayes, Scott F. Kiesling, Celia Kitzinger, Don Kulick, William L.
