Voices in Texts and Contexts presents different perspectives of “voice”, a concept that emerges from language choices, social and cultural phenomena, and psychology. In weaving a tapestry of linguistic experiences, from analyses of language phenomena including localised English to explanations of human behaviour, this book offers insights into how we use language, construct discourse, and express ourselves in light of selected texts and specific contexts.
Speaking Out
Focusing on the female voice in public contexts, language and gender specialists consider the barriers and opportunities encountered by women in gaining recognition in politics, law, the church, education, business and the media, where people are increasingly judged by their speech and where male and female speech is often evaluated differently.
Voices Off
The culmination of a trilogy on children literature that began with After Alice and The Prose and the Passion. The 20 essays address a variety of genres and issues both in contemporary contexts and in the past. Among the contributors are novelists Jan Mark, Jill Paton Walsh, and John Rowe Townsend; others include artists and booksellers. Their topics range from a bookseller's view of wasting money, the revenge of the teenage horror, and Aesop for children to reading picture books, letter writing, picture books as small portable galleries, the masks of the narrator, and critical literacy as a dangerous underground movement.
