Interested in the nexus between sport, gender, and language, Sport, Rhetoric, and Gender deconstructs the role of rhetoric in the multi-billion dollar popular cultural/infotainment business.

Edited by Linda K. Fuller, it consists of these divisions: 1. Sport language per se; 2. Historical perspectives; 3. Print media representations; 4. Broadcast media representations; 5. Visual media representations; and 6. Classic case studies |
