1 Introduction

Language is in some sense a mirror of society. As an ideographic language with syntactic and semantic systems, Chinese language provides a vivid picture of Chinese society as a sexist one. Generally speaking, in the language, gender difference refers to the difference performed by men and women when they use the same language or dialect. This difference is an objective fact ubiquitous in human society. It is one of the common manifestations of language variants and also is an important issue in the study of sociolinguistics. 文献综述

1.1 Previous Studies on Gender Discrimination

The study of sex difference in language originated from the early 1970s. After 1980s, the gender of the speaker, together with the age and the class of the speaker has formed a tripod pattern in language use. Also, it gradually becomes a focus of the study of sociolinguistics, thus drawing a widespread attention among the scholars. Since the western women’s liberation movements in the early seventies of the twentieth century, linguists and feminist in English-speaking world began to pay attention to the discrimination against women in English language. Some experts also put forward certain recommendations and measures to eliminate gender discrimination in English, which obtained the support from the society and achieved some encouraging results.
