Gender and Language: A Review on the Use of Language by Male and Female University Students

Dil, sosyal olarak inşa edilmiş ve güçlü bir baskı aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Dil, aynı zamanda en büyük sınıf mücadelesi olan erkek/kadın mücadelesinde de önemli bir yere sahiptir. Cinsiyet bir ideoloji olduğundan, dil hem toplumsal hem de evrensel olarak inşa edilmiştir. Egemen ideoloji ataerkil olduğu için, kadın ataerkilliğin belirlediği söylem çerçevesinde kalmıştır. Bu ataerkil toplum, dili erkeğin nesnesi yapar. Kadınları pasif yapan bu düzen, onları erkekler tarafından şekillendirilen bir dilin egemenliği altına alır. Feminist dilbilimciler bu düzene dayanarak, kadınların erkekler tarafından üretilen ve kendilerini ifade etmelerini engelleyen bir dilde yaşamak zorunda olduklarına dikkat çekmiştir. Çünkü dil o kadar güçlü ve derin bir yapıdır ki, kadınlar kamusal alanda yer almaya başladığında bile, bunu erkek egemen bir dille yapmak zorundadır.

Gender and Language: A Review on the Use of Language by Male and Female University Students

Language is socially constructed and used as a powerful means of repression, and language has an important place in the struggle of male/female classes, which is the biggest class struggle. Since gender is an ideology, its language is constructed both socially and universally. Since the dominant ideology was patriarchal, the woman remained within the framework of the discourse determined by patriarchy. This patriarchal society makes the language, the object of man. This order that makes women passive takes them under the dominance of a language that is shaped by men. Based on this order, feminist linguists pointed out that women had to live in a language that was produced by men, which prevented them from expressing themselves. Language is such a strong and deep structure that even when women start to take part in the public arena, They to do it through a male dominant language.
