- Drawing on two sociolinguistic research projects involving the original transcription and analysis of parliamentary discourse, and fifty interviews with politicians between 1998 and 2018, this output of over 270 pages is the culmination of two decades of research, and addresses the underrepresentation of women in politics by examining how language constructs and maintains inequality in political institutions. The monograph required comparison of the House of Commons with the devolved political institutions of the UK to identify the practices that foster equal participation and also involved several detailed case studies of the mediatised and institutional discourse of high-profile women politicians.
