Discourse, Identity, and Social Change in the Marriage Equality Debates - Oxford Studies in Language and Law
Tracy, Karen (Professor and Chair of Communication, Professor and Chair of Communication, University of Colorado at Boulder)
This book examines the discourse of judges and attorneys, and legislators and citizens as they debated whether same-sex couples should be permitted to marry. Karen Tracy shows that change in Americans' attitudes occurred concurrently with changes in speakers' language use that went from framing sexual orientation as a "lifestyle " to talking about gays and lesbians as a category of citizen.
