The study presented in this book explores the cultural models of GENDER and HOMOSEXUALITY in Indian and Nigerian English, drawing on the research fields of Cultural Linguistics, Cognitive Sociolinguistics and World Englishes. With the help of different methodologies and empirical data in the form of sociolinguistic interviews, multimodal film material and an online survey, the study scrutinises cultural conceptualisations such as culture-specific conceptual metaphors or schemas and shows how they combine to larger, interconnected cultural models, which provide speakers with a conceptual logic for understanding and interpreting gender and homosexuality. The book further provides visualizations of these cultural models in the form of complex network representations. This scholarly work caters to readers interested in the culturally oriented strands of Cognitive Linguistics, in sociolinguistics, in World Englishes research and in questions on language, gender and homosexuality. It offers valuable insights into the intricate connections between language, culture and cognition.
