【摘要】：性别歧视的问题由来已久，无论是在西方或是东方国家的社会中，很多方面都存在性别歧视的现象,甚至在人们的思维中根深蒂固。而在社会活动过程中，语言是应用最普遍的沟通媒介，也最容易受到其使用者的思想的影响。由此看来，性别歧视在语言中，例如汉语、英语中，也有明显的体现。这一问题引起了学者的关注，他们做了很多相关研究。这其中，外语教材中的性别歧视现象是一个不容忽视的方面。国内外有一些学者专门调研英语教材（主要是针对母语不是英语的学生的英语教材）中的性别歧视现象。国内也有研究语文和英语课本中性别歧视情况的先例。虽然数量不多，但都有相当的借鉴意义。目前，随着市场经济迅猛发展，中国同外面世界的经济往来日益频繁。一时之间，商务英语和商务汉语收到了热捧，与之相关的认证证书也备受关注。在这样的背景之下，在商务英语和商务汉语教材中是否存在性别歧视的问题引起了作者的极大兴趣。所以作者决定在借鉴前人的研究方法的基础上，对选定的两套具有典型代表意义的教材，，即剑桥商务英语BEC系列教材，和商务汉语新思路NSR系列教材，进行性别歧视现象的对比分析。本文通过定量分析的方法，对以下方面分别进行了统计：教材中不同性别的人物的人数以及插图中的人数，不同性别人物的工作种类，用来形容不同性别人物特点的形容词，在教材中（包括录音部分）两性对话中主动话语权和话轮数。在分析过程中，本文运用内容分析以及会话分析等理论对这些方面进行详细调研，进而得出女性人物在这些教材中的所处情况。经过对比研究之后，本文发现在BEC系列教材和NSR系列教材中，均存在对女性人物的性别歧视现象，但BEC系列程度较轻，NSR系列程度较重。笔者希望通过本文得出的结论，引起相关部门的足够重视，对教材内容进行修整。
