Assignment 6: Language and Gender

  • Gendered Language and its Effects

    The distinction between genders is apparent in many of the languages. It can also be made visible through the use of feminine and masculine pronouns and articles. The German language even uses a neutral article (der, die & das). Contrary to this, in other languages gender differences are not specified grammatically. An excellent example for this is Hungarian. By looking at these examples, it becomes clear that language use and gender do influence each other. But how exactly does language use interact with gender in our day-to-day life? This blog is dedicated to this topic.
