This contribution explores the use of the formal resources of English (third-person singular pronouns in anaphora, sex-sensitive collocations) for "assigned gender" in a corpus of letters written by settlers of the Great Plains of the United States in the last decades of the nineteenth century. The textual work is introduced by a discussion of significant theoretical aspects of the grammatical category of gender and of certain methodological issues - particularly "Units of Anaphoric Reference". Although assigned gender has been approached from a general perspective, particular attention has been paid to two specific usages: the feminine pronoun as an indicator of colloquial American English, and the neuter pronoun as a frequent (and possibly patterned) choice for nouns like baby or child.

"The Handbook of World Englishes" is a collection of newly commissioned articles focusing on selected critical dimensions and case studies of the theoretical, ideological, applied and pedagogical issues related to English as it is spoken around the world. The Handbook represents the cross-cultural and international contextualization of the English language, and the contributions articulate the visions of scholars from major varieties of world Englishes - African, Asian, European, and North and South American. Topics discussed include: the sociolinguistic contexts of varieties of English in the inner, outer, and expanding circles of its users; the ranges of functional domains in which these varieties are used; attitude-marked love-hate relationships with the language; the place of English in language policies and language planning in Anglophone societies; and debates about English as a cause of language death, murder and suicide. This innovative and unique volume is a valuable resource for researchers and students of World Englishes.
