Description
In this collection of essays, a group of linguists and social scientists examines specific instances of language use, and centers its analysis around the speakers/writers and their contributions to message-exchange within a setting. These prominent scholars create a basis for a bold exploration of homosexual dialogue as an independently developed linguistic construction, by arguing in support of distinctively constructed lesbian and gay languages.
First Sentence
The first phone conversation occurred on 10 March 1876 in the Boston home of Alexander Graham Bell: this historic event foreshadows many of the later uses of the telephone.
