Dildeki Cinsiyet ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet Göstergeleri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Sosyal ve kültürel olarak inşa edilen toplumsal cinsiyet farkları ve özellikleri çağdaş toplumun en ilgi çeken meselelerinden biridir. Farklı bilim alanlarında cinsiyet ve toplumsal cinsiyet ile ilişki disiplinler arası çalışmaların son yıllardaki artışı dikkat çekmektedir. Bu makalenin genel amacı cinsiyet, toplumsal cinsiyet ve dil ilişkileri üzerine değerlendirmelerde bulunmaktır. Dil, cinsiyet ve toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında oluşan ve anlam kazanan bazı görüş ve düşüncelerin aktarılmasıyla beraber bunlar üzerine temellenen teorik yaklaşımlar ve kuramlar üzerinden söz konusu olgular arasındaki bağlar incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Böylece toplumsal cinsiyet ve cinsiyet olgularının dilin fonetik, morfolojik ve leksik düzeyindeki göstergelerinin tespit edilerek incelenmesi de bu çalışmanın amaçları olarak sayılmalıdır. Nitekim çalışmanın sonucunda dilin ses düzeyindeki cinsiyet göstergelerinin genellikle kadın ve erkek biyolojik ve fizyolojik altyapısından kaynaklanan cinsiyet farklılıklarına dayandığı; dildeki cinsiyet göstergelerini içeren gramer kategorilerinin toplumun diyalektik dünya algılayışı üzerine kuruldukları; dilin leksik düzeyinin, toplumsal cinsiyet göstergelerini anlamsal çağrışımlarında içermesi, leksik boyutun üstün cinsiyet işaretli düzey üzerinde kurgulandığı tespit edilmiştir.

An Analysis on Sex and Gender Indicators in Language

Socially and culturally constructed gender differences and characteristics are one of the most interesting issues in modern society. In recent years, attention has been drawn to the increase in interdisciplinary research on gender and gender relations in various fields of science. The overall aim of this article is to assess gender, gender and language relations. Along with the transfer of some views and thoughts that have formed and gained meaning in the context of language, gender and gender, the links between the aforementioned phenomena have been tried to be examined through the theoretical approaches and theories based on them. Thus, determining and examining the "phonetic, morphological and lexical" level indicators of gender and gender phenomena should be counted as the aims of this study. As a matter of fact, as a result of the study, it was concluded that the gender indicators in the sound level of the language are generally based on gender differences arising from the biological and physiological infrastructure of men and women; that grammatical categories that include gender indicators in language are based on society's dialectical perception of the world; It has been determined that the lexical level of the language includes gender indicators in their semantic connotations, and the lexical dimension is constructed on the level with the superior gender sign.
