多元理论视域下的语言与性别研究

摘要

The language and gender study since the 1970s focuses on the intrinsic difference between the two genders in language,but fails to explore the social,historic and lingustic reasons behind.The changes of perspectives and paradigms in the late 20th century combine academic research with social life to turn to a differentiated,contextualized and performed model from the dichotomy of gender.Gender is considered to be naturalized and normalized in linguistic practice,and socially constructed through text or any linguistic forms.New perspectives and paradigms are provided for the language and gender study.%20世纪70年代兴起的语言与性别研究在强调语言反映男女本质不同的同时,忽略了男女差异出现的社会、历史、语言等原因。20世纪末的语言和性别的意识转换将学术探索和社会生活密切结合,从性别的本质主义和两分概念转向有差异的、语境化的和表演的模式,性别概念被看作在日常语言实践活动中被自然化和规范化。性别是社会建构的,语篇或各种形式的语言产出是性别建构的主要场所。当代语言和性别研究出现了新视域和多个范式。
