You might have your student

take a look at this paper.

Rudes, Blair A. and Bernard Healy. 1979. "'Is She for Real?': The

Concepts of Femaleness and Maleness in the Gay World." In Madeleine

Mathiot (ed.) Ethnolinguistics: Boas, Sapir and Whorf Revisited. The

Hague: Mouton, 49-61.



Also, a friend of mine at UC Davis is working on a PhD in the discourse

features of gay speech in Japanese. Your student might be interested in

exchanging notes with her. Her e-mail address is as follows: Naoko Ogawa
