社会性别的内涵和歧视——英语词汇的一种女性主义解读

摘要

The formation of words is closely related to social construction. Specific words reflect the construction, features and values of a specific society as well as the dynamic implications of gender. Some English words reveal some social discriminations and the subordinate position of women, which is related to the age-long dominance of male discourse, while feminist linguistics helps reveal the rich implications of such words.%词汇的构建与社会构建息息相关,特定的词汇映射出特定社会的构成、特点和价值观,表征着社会性别的动态底蕴.部分英语词汇体现了性别歧视,表征了妇女的从属地位,这主要源于男权话语长期的主导地位,女性主义语言学对此类词汇的解读揭示了其深刻底蕴.
