语言性别歧视是一种普遍现象。社会语言学家对此做了大量的研究,包括词语的非对称、隐喻、词序、称呼称谓、男性词语的泛化以及词汇意义的变化等显性的语言性别歧视;而语境语篇中的性别歧视现象没有受到重视。本文从语境语篇入手,探讨名词、形容词、代词在语境语篇具体化时产生的性别歧视现象,以及造成语言中性别歧视现象背后的社会文化根源。最后说明语言中的性别歧视现象,不是只改变语言符号本身就能消除的,而是需要社会上的传统和人们的性别歧视观念的改变来完成。

Language Sexism is a widespread phenomenon. Sociolinguists have done a lot of research on this, including non-symmetrical words, metaphors, word order, appellations, generalization of men’s words and changes in lexical meaning and other explicit language gender discrimination; and contextual discourse Gender discrimination is not taken seriously. This article begins with the contextual discourse to explore the phenomenon of gender discrimination caused by the nouns, adjectives and pronouns in the concretization of contextual discourse, as well as the social and cultural roots behind the phenomena of gender discrimination in language. Finally, it shows that the phenomenon of gender discrimination in language can not be eliminated only by changing the linguistic signs themselves, but needs to be done through the changes of social traditions and the concept of gender discrimination.
