This gender bias can also be found in the English language. Such language is called sexist language. This paper is devoted to the study of sexism in the English language and on how to avoid sexism. It begins with a short introduction of the background information. By highlighting many examples of the sexism in the English language that discriminates against women, the second part of this paper focuses on some expressions that show sexism, and analyzes the reasons for sexism in English in various aspects of society, economics and culture. Moreover, this paper puts forward many suggestions on how to avoid sexism in daily use. The paper ends with the conclusion that unless enough awareness is paid both to the correct use of language and to the equal rights between men and women, the sexism in the English language can not be eradicated.英文摘要内容后下空一行KEY WORDS: sexism, sexist word, non-sexist word, reason, avoid小四号、Times New Roman 、加粗粗Tim小四号、Times New Roman,均为小写字母,每一关键词之间用逗号隔开,最后一个关键词不打标点符号居中打印,三号、Times New Roman、加粗ContentsContents下空一行、小四号小四号Times New RomanIntroduction.(9)Chapter One Sexism in English Language.(10) 1.1 Sexism in English names.(10) 1.1.1 Sexism of womens names.(10) 1.1.2 Sexism of mens names.(10) 1.2 Sexism in English addresses.(11) 1.3 Sexism on principle part of men and variant of women.(11) 1.4 Sexism in word meaning.(12) 1.5 Sexism in word order: man first, then women.(13)Chapter Two Reasons for Sexism in English Language.(14) 2.1 Reasons related to social and economic positions.(14) 2.2 The explanations of psychoanalysts.(14) 2.3 The influence of mythology .(14) 2.4 The influence of social prejudice and traditional ideas.(15)Chapter Three How to Avoid Sexism in English Language.(16) 3.1 Turn the sexist words into non-sexist words or gender-free words(16) 3.2 Avoid citing the text directly .(16) 3.3 Avoid sexism aroused by the third person pronouns .(16)Conclusion.(19)Acknowledgements.(20)Bibliography.(21)小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗IntroductionIntroduction下空一行、小四号 Language is a mirror of the world. Everything is reflected in the mirror. In English countries, though people advocate equal rights for everyone, there are a lot of inequities, such as unequal rights between men and women, which are also reflected in the mirror of language. This phenomenon is called sexism in the English language. Sexist language expresses unfair assumptions about gender differences. It can be either explicit, as in the prejudicial use of male or female pronouns, or implicit. In the 1970s, womens movements flourished in western countries. Due to the impact of the feminist movement, a reform aiming at eliminating sexism in language spread all over the western countries. This paper tries to illustrate sexism in English language use, analyze the reasons for that phenomenon and point out ways to eliminate the sexism in English.居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符下空一行、小四号Chapter One Sexism in the English LanguageFrom the definitions, it can be found that in the area of linguistics, “sexism” means discrimination against women in communication. The following are some facts about sexism in language.空一行小四号、Times New Roman、加粗1.1 Sexism in English names “A Name is a kind of symbol for people to distinguish each other. Apart from that, it does not have other social functions” (Lin 1999: 86). However, in fact, when people are choosing names, they always bring their subject ideas and social attitudes into consideration.1.1.1 Sexism of womens namesGenerally speaking, people can judge the gender from the name. Womens names usually use the words meaning beautiful, graceful, and lovely. For example, Lily is the name of a kind of flower: Susan comes from the Hebrew language and means graceful and kind; Diana stems from the Greek language, with the meaning of goddess of the moon, and it is a symbol of beauty, grace and dignity. 1.1.2 Sexism of mens namesWardhaugh (1992: 99) said that “man mankind” refers to all human beings just as “he” refers to the third-person pronoun.1.2 Sexism in English addressesIn English, Mr. and Mrs. is a pair of honorific addresses. People usually put Mr. in front of a mans name, and Mr. does not show the matrimony status of the man. 1.3 Sexism on principle part of men and variant of womenThe Bible advocates that God created the man first, and the woman comes from the rib of the man. In the English language, many hyponyms show the tendency that standard language is based on men.1.4 Sexism in word meaningIn the English language, many words associated with men have positive or affirmative meanings. However, the words related to women usually have negative meanings.1.5 Sexism in word order: man first, then women.In English grammar, there is not a rule about “man first”. However, in practice, people usually put the man first, and then woman. For example, husband and wife, boy and girl. This kind of word order is very common. If we reverse the order, wife and husband, girl and boy, we will feel uncomfortable.小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符下空一行、小四号居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗Chapter Two Reasons for Sexism in the English Language小四号、Times New Roman、加粗2.1 Reasons related to social and economic positions空一行In the aspect of social and economic positions, women are at the bottom. They are greatly discriminated against. 2.2 The explanations of psychoanalysts Therefore, psychoanalysis is language analysis. “Men have the power of language, and women are the subordinate and are looked down upon in the aspect of language” (Hauck 1995: 54).2.3 The influence of mythologyThe discrimination and prejudice against women is a part of culture ideology. Culture ideology refers to the ideas and attitude associated with culture values. The spread of culture ideology reacts on the discrimination and prejudice against women. Mythology is a form of culture. 2.4 The influence of social prejudice and traditional ideas.Social prejudice is acquired from conversations of groups of people, parents, relatives, friends, or the mass media, such as broadcasts, movies, TV, and newspapers. Sexism also exists in conversation or mass media. For example, when people refer to callboy, they mean the waiter in a restaurant or the one who informs the actors to prepare for the stage. However, call girl means a prostitute who makes her arrangements by telephone.正文小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗下空一行、小四号Chapter Three How to Avoid Sexism in English Language小四号、Times New Roman、加粗3.1 Turn the sexist words into non-sexist words or gender-free words.In the daily life, it is better to use non-sexist words or gender-free words such as child, teacher, officer, and people, and try to avoid sexist words such as chairman and mankind.空一行小四号、Times New Roman、加粗3.2 Avoid citing the text directlyWhen citing a text including the words of “man” or “men”, people can choose the following methods to avoid sexism.3.3 Avoid sexism aroused by the third-person pronouns.When using the above ways to avoid sexism, it is better to pay attention to the specific situation. A specific method depends on whether it is helpful for our writing or conversation, and whether it is appropriate.Conclusion下空一行、小四号居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符ConclusionSexist language is a language, whether written or oral, which by its use, form or structure, demeans people on account of their gender. Sexism in language has been an important topic among people in modem times. It is a problem that begins in peoples assumptions and expectations and has attracted attention all over the world. In addition, it is a problem that will be solved only when a great many people have given it a great deal of thought. Just as Rosalie Maggio said, “It is also necessary to acknowledge that there can be no solution to the problem of sexism in society on the level of language”(1989: 35).Sexism in the English language exists in English names, addresses, word meanings, word order, and many kinds of areas in our daily life. This phenomenon is rooted in the culture of society. Language is a telltale evidence of the values and beliefs of the culture. Sexism in the English language is influenced by social and economic reasons. It takes a long time for old words and usages to disappear. Therefore, in our daily life, more attention should be paid to the usage of words, such as using non-sexist words instead of sexist words, avoiding the designation of “he/man” and the third-person pronouns. Only when people are fully conscious of the equal rights between man and woman, and eradicate sexism in social culture, can the sexism in English be eliminated.小四号、Times New Roman每段开头空四个字符居中打印,小三号、Times New Roman、加粗AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements下空一行、小四号I am greatly indebted to all my teachers from the bottom of my heart.
