摘要
语言使用中的性别差异现象是近年来非常热门的话题。亲属称谓语作为称谓语系统的基本组成要素,不但反映了语言与性别的关系,而且在跨文化交际研究中也发挥了积极作用。本文通过比较汉英亲属称谓语揭示出性别差异产生的内在原因,并探讨了研究结果对外语学习和外语教学的意义。
Gender difference in language is a much-discussed topic. Kinship term, a basic component of address system, not only reflects the relationship between gender and language, but also plays an important role in intercultural communication. This paper attempts to make a comparison of gender differences between Chinese and English kinship terms and reveal the possible causes it results from. Its significance in language learning and teaching is also explored.
