* the language used to encode romantic and sexual desire
* the attitudes and assumptions about romantic and sexual desire embodied in English
* the relations between language and the construction of identities based upon manifestations of desire
Contributors include: Sara Mills, Joanna Channell, Mary Talbot and Michael Hoey.
Language and Desire will attract a varied readership including students of linguistics, women's studies, gender studies, and lesbian and gay studies.
