汉语的性别差异研究综述

语言的性别差异目前是社会语言学研究的一个重要问题,汉语性别差异的专门研究起步较晚,但最近30年有不少研究成果问世,主要围绕语言表现和言语交际的性别差异展开,具体体现在语音、词汇、会话场景和语境等诸多方面。从中显现的性别歧视和语言表达风格的差异可以合理运用西方理论框架来分析解释,即可以通过社会建构的概念,在支配和文化差异的方法间找到一个折衷。

An Overview of Studies on Gender Differentiation in Chinese

Gender differentiation in language is now a key issue in the socio-linguistic studies.Detailed studies on gender differentiation in Chinese started quite late,but have produced a number of satisfactory results in the past 30 years,mainly centered on the recognition of gender-based different language form and usagese,specially embodied in sound,lexicon,conversation context and situation.To rec-ognize sexism and discrimination existing in Chinese expressions,one can appropriately apply certain western theoretical framework to guide analysis and interpretation,namely,using the social constructivist concept to find a compromise between the approaches of dom-inance and cultural difference.
