Description
Summary:"Heralded by Geoff Nunberg as "required reading" for anyone interested in the conversation swirling around gender-neutral and nonbinary pronouns, What's Your Pronoun? is an essential work that addresses one of the most pressing cultural questions of our day. Providing much-needed historical context and analysis to the debate around what we call ourselves, pioneering linguist Dennis Baron brings new insight to a centuries-old topic and illuminates how--and why--these pronouns are sparking confusion and prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, and even statehouses. Enlightening and affirming, What's Your Pronoun? introduces a new way of thinking about the intersections of language, identity, and gender." --page [4] of cover
