What's Your Pronoun?: Beyond He and She

Heralded as "required reading" (Geoff Nunberg) and "the book" (Anne Fadiman) for anyone interested in the conversation swirling around gender-neutral and nonbinary pronouns, What's Your Pronoun? is a classic in the making. Providing much-needed historical context and analysis to the debate around what we call ourselves, Dennis Baron brings new insight to a centuries-old topic and illuminates how--and why--these pronouns are sparking confusion and prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, and even statehouses. Enlightening and affirming, What's Your Pronoun? introduces a new way of thinking about language, gender, and how they intersect.Author: Dennis BaronPublisher: Liveright Publishing CorporationPublished: 01/12/2021Pages: 320Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.55lbsSize: 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90dISBN: 9781631498718Review Citation(s): Choice 05/01/2022About the AuthorBaron, Dennis: - Dennis Baron professor emeritus of English and linguistics at the University of Illinois, has long been a national commentator on language issues, from the Washington Post to NPR and CNN.
