　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　PREFACE

　The growing number of textbooks on language and gender issues which adopt a feminist approach are testimony to the fact that feminist linguistics is coming of age.　A historical account of feminist linguistic approaches since 1973 would probably distinguish between three models of language and gender ( Cameron,1995 ). One is a deficit model in which women are seen 　as disadvantaged 　speakers : the 　obvious 　exampleis　Lakoff's　
Language and Women's Place ( 1975 ).The second is a dominance model in which women are seen as negotiating their　powerless　position　in
interacｔing with men : this model could be exemplified by the work of West and Zimmerman ( 1983 ) on interruptions. Finally, there is a cultural difference model in which analogies are made between gender and other social divisions : a major reference point for this model is Tannen's book You Just Don't Understand ( 1990 );Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus ( 1992 ) also exemplifies it.
