Abstract

On Gender and Communicative StrategyKim, KweesoonLanguage and gender refers to the relationship between language and our ideas about men and women. 'Gender' as a term differs from 'sex' in being about socially expected characteristics rather than biology. While the terms 'man' and 'woman' can refer to definitions based on biological differences, the term 'masculine' and 'feminine' are always about expected gender characteristics-what men and women are supposed to be like.English language can be described as a sexist language. Sex stereotyping is the thing people often put the blame for, it's all the fault of the media and society. We all 'do' gender in our everyday thinking.Looking at everyday thinking means looking at psychological processes and at social organization. It's not enough just to look at language without considering how it relates to wider issues about how we think and understand, and how we view our own and other social groups.
