This doctoral thesis by Jenny Magnusson investigates how age-related words are used in Swedish newspaper texts. The study examines focus words for females and males of different ages, age lexemes, and new expressions describing age. Utilizing a corpus linguistic approach, it analyzes large text corpora from the years 1965, 1987, and 2000 to understand the semantic and contextual usage of these terms. The research highlights how age and gender are constructed and negotiated in language use, revealing patterns of vagueness and semantic division of labor. The intended audience includes linguists, sociologists, and those interested in language and cultural studies.
