Title | Speaking about speeches: interviews with women politicians about linguistic practices in UK parliamentary debates |
Authors | Shaw, S. |
Abstract | This paper aims to explore the construction of women politicians’ gendered identities in relation to their ‘frontstage’ (Goffman 1957) linguistic performance in debates through the discourse of ‘backstage’ ethnographic interviews. Data is drawn from forty-five semi-structured ethnographic interviews that took place as part of a wider research project in the ‘new’ devolved institutions of the UK between January and June 2010. The central research question of this paper asks: How do women MPs represent their linguistic performances in debates, and how salient is gender to that representation? |
