Investigating the Sociolinguistic Gender Paradox in a Multilingual Community: A Case Study from the Republic of Palau.
Matsumoto, Kazuko; Britain, David
International Journal of Bilingualism, v7 n2 p127-52 2003
Examines the supposed "Gender Paradox" proposed by Labov (1990, 2001), which suggests women are both sometimes conversative and sometimes innovative in terms of linguistic variation and change. Explores the paradox from two perspectives: its applicability to multilingual as opposed to multidialectal communities and whether it is methodological or real. (Author/VWL)
