【摘要】：语言中的性别歧视问题一直是中西方语言学家特别是社会语言学家深感兴趣的一个重要课题。他们对从语音、词汇和语法等层面上表现出的性别歧视现象,实际上往往都是歧视女性的现象进行了界定、研究和探讨,并将社会语言学理论作为主要依据,分析了产生这一现象的原因。20世纪80年代后期至90年代,认知语言学诞生。它提出语言的创建、学习及运用,基本上都必须能够透过人类的认知而加以解释,人们的日常经验是语言使用的基础,语言和一般认知能力密不可分,因为认知能力是人类知识的根本。这一领域的研究成果为进一步探索语言中的性别歧视现象提供了新的视角。本文在认知语言学的框架内,以原型理论和认知隐喻理论为理论依据,对汉英语言中存在的性别歧视现象进行跨语言比较研究和比较全面系统的阐释。本研究的汉英语言性别歧视语料主要采集自《现代汉语词典》、《牛津高阶英汉双解大词典》和百度百科(http://baike.baidu.com/),同时参考了《说文解字》、《汉语大词典》和《英文字根字典》等工具书,力求收词丰富全面且具有代表性。论文首先对“语言性别歧视”、“原型”以及“概念隐喻”或“认知隐喻”等相关概念进行了界定和介绍,接着运用定性方法和语言比较和对比法将语料进行分类、描述以及对比分析,最后得出以下结论:汉英语言性别歧视现象的成因在认知宏观上具有共性,带有性别歧视色彩的固定的语言形式的生成是以男性为人类范畴原型的认知心理为直接动因的,而通过含义的演变和引申形成的性别歧视语则是人们在以上男性原型的思维定势下进行的特定认知隐喻操作的结果。最后,论文还对性别歧视语的发展变化进行了分析并探讨了语言性别歧视的规避,希望借此唤起语言使用者对性别歧视语的警觉和为语言政策制定者拿出积极有效的方案提供思路,从而改善语言环境增进社会和谐。
[Abstract]:Gender discrimination in language has always been an important topic of great interest to Chinese and western linguists, especially social linguists. In fact, they have defined, studied and discussed the phenomenon of sexism in phonological, lexical and grammatical aspects, and used sociolinguistic theory as the main basis. This paper analyzes the causes of this phenomenon. Cognitive linguistics was born from the late 1980s to the 1990s. It suggests that the creation, learning and use of language must basically be explained by human cognition, and that people's daily experience is the basis of language use, and that language and general cognitive ability are inextricably linked. Because cognitive ability is the foundation of human knowledge. The research results in this field provide a new perspective for further exploring sexism in language. Within the framework of cognitive linguistics, this paper, based on prototype theory and cognitive metaphor theory, makes a cross-linguistic comparative study of sexism in Chinese and English languages and gives a comprehensive and systematic explanation. The sexist data of Chinese and English languages are mainly collected from Modern Chinese Dictionary, Oxford High order English-Chinese Dictionary and Baidu Encyclopedia (http://baike.baidu.com/). At the same time, we refer to reference books such as Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Chinese Dictionary and English Root Dictionary, etc. Strive to collect words rich and comprehensive and representative. The thesis first defines and introduces the concepts of "linguistic sexism", "prototype" and "conceptual metaphor" or "cognitive metaphor", and then classifies the corpus by qualitative method and linguistic comparison and contrast. Finally, the following conclusions are drawn: the causes of sexism in Chinese and English languages are common in cognitive macroscopics. The formation of fixed language forms with sexist color is directly motivated by the cognitive psychology that male is the prototype of human category. The sexist language formed by the evolution and extension of meaning is the result of the specific cognitive metaphor operation under the thought pattern of the above male archetypes. Finally, the paper analyzes the development and changes of sexist language and discusses the circumvention of linguistic sexism. It is hoped that language users will be alerted to sexist language and ideas will be provided for language policy makers to develop positive and effective programs to improve the language environment and promote social harmony.
