基于语料库COCA对英语语言性别歧视改善的实证研究初探
A Corpus-Based Study on Improvement of Linguistic Sexism in English
摘要:
上世纪60年代女权运动兴起之后,越来越多的语言学家和社会学家对英语语言性别歧视和性别歧视语言展开大量的研究,试图通过对语言形式的改革,改善甚至消除语言性别歧视现象。但是,对于这种改革结果和改善效果的检测一直是一大难题,缺少实证检验。英语语料库,尤其是美国当代英语语料库COCA,作为互联网信息数据时代语言研究的一大利器,它的强时效性、大数据性、语料客观性等特点和优势都为检验英语语言性别歧视改善效果提供了科学的帮助。
Abstract:
With the rise of feminist movement in last 60s, more and more linguists and socialists have been attempting to improve, even eliminate linguistic sexism by reforming English language. However, it’s difficult to test the effects of reform because of little empirical study. While as an important tool used widely through Internet, the English corpus especially COCA, featuring in timelessness, big data and objectivity, helps a lot on studying the effects of improving English linguistic sexism.
