Palgrave British Pronoun Use Prescription and Processing Linguistic and Social Influences Affecting They and He 2014 Edition by L. Paterson

The analysis is framed by a consideration of language-internal factors, such as syntactic agreement, and language-external factors, which include traditional grammatical prescriptivism and the language reforms resulting from second-wave feminism.
