社会性别主流化框架下德国女性主义语言政策

Feminist Language Policy in Germany by Way of Gender Mainstreaming

随着妇女运动的发展、女性自我意识的提高及社会性别主流化概念的推行,女性在德语语言上的不平等待遇尤其是以阳性称谓泛指两性的现象遭到了女权主义者的批判。她们要求语言上的两性平等权,这对德国语言政策产生了重大影响,导致一系列法律条例的出台,从体现性别平等的角度对涉及女性的人称称谓作出了规定。新的职业、职务和头衔名称被引入,法律、行政和媒体语言中,女性的可见度明显提高。

With the rise of women＇s consciousness throughout feminist campaign,there has been increasing a feminist demand for gender mainstreaming and ending unjust treatment of women in German language,particularly by way of the generic use of masculine appellation.Feminist claim for equal linguistic rights as that of men has certainly influenced German language policy and ultimately led to the promulgation of a series of legislations and regulations,which stipulate how to address women indiscriminately.New appellations of profession,position and title are introduced to achieve gender equality in German language.The visibility of women is increased clearly in legal and administrative writings as well as in mass media.
