Language, Gender and Politics in Central and Eastern Europe
This volume is the first book-length collection of research on language, gender and sexuality in the societies of central and eastern Europe. Spanning a range of languages and political contexts, the chapters shed light on the intense debates that connect language use, gender equality, sexuality, history and belonging in this region today, while advancing perspectives on semiotic resignification that complicate some western-dominated frameworks in the discipline. Focused on a space increasingly described as a hub of 'anti-gender' hostility - as we currently witness in the curtailing of abortion rights, removal of gender from curricula and institutionalisation of anti-LBGTQ rhetoric - the book also foregrounds the rich continuities of feminist theory and protest in post-socialist societies, and their import for rethinking transnational sociolinguistic perspectives on heteronormative patriarchy, 'anti-genderism', neoliberalism, imperialism and conflict. Showcasing a range of approaches, themes and angles of inquiry, the book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students researching the topics of gender and sexuality within linguistics, but also within other interdisciplinary areas of the humanities and social sciences.

The Cultural Politics of Digital User Experience Writing
User experience (UX) writers are the professionals who create the verbal content of websites, apps, or other software interfaces, including error messages, help texts, software instructions, or button labels that we all see and engage with every day. This invisible yet highly influential language work has been largely ignored by sociocultural linguists. The book addresses this gap, examining the broader cultural politics of digital media through an exploration of the linguistic production and purposeful design of interface texts. It discusses UX writing as an influential contemporary domain of language work and shows how the specific practices and processes that structure this work shape the norms that become embedded in software interfaces. It highlights the nature of UX writing, its (meta)pragmatic organization, and its cultural-political implications. Foregrounding the voices and perspectives of language workers, it is essential reading for anyone interested in how language shapes the way people use digital media.
