The president and the pepperpot: Linguistic representation of the sexes in a Melbourne daily newspaper
Year: 1999
Type: article
Abstract: This paper aims to look at previous research conducted about sexual representation and indeed, misrepresentation, in the medium of newspapers. It will consider some key features of gendered language, where gendered covers all types of language that assume sexual stereotypes, impose sexual prejudices, exclude one or the other sex, perpetuate sexual inequality and so on. The key features identified from the sourced texts will then be considered in the examination of one daily newspaper, The Herald Sun (September 23 1998), with a mind to highlighting the instances of sexual stereotypes, semantic derogation, and general linguistic inequality of the sexes.
