This book contains an original collection of contributions that deal with the use of a methodology based on, driven, or assisted by corpora to analyse language from a gender perspective. Specialist software is also used to answer the research questions addressed in every chapter. The papers selected examine English or Spanish texts and focus on the employment of gender-related words in several types of discourse (e.g., adventure tourism promotion, the Humanities, literature, legal texts, or social media). The authors cover these topics from different approaches to identify new features on how language use portrays the female and the male genders. Overall, this volume shows the power of the so-called Corpus Linguistics to understand the connection between language and gender. Therefore, this is a sample of the intersection of these three elements, forming the pivot of the monograph and offering, at the same time, analysis techniques that can be replicated.
