Discuss Gender and language/socio-liguistic

Using Sara Mills’ model for textual analysis, work in Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis, present a critical analysis, Focusing on the representation of gender in my chosen article: Tom Dyckhoff, House and Homme, Esquire Magazine December 2017

Follow this following bully points have I covered them all,

In your discussion, you need to make references to aspects of Mills’ model and other readings you have done, and include a bibliography.

As a guide only, and in order to pick the relevant linguistic features, use the list of questions from Mills’ book Feminist Stylistics (conclusion chapter), and think about the following:

• Consider aspects of production(invention) and reception(response)
• Think about how the text addresses the reader (interpersonal function of language)the
• Explain how the writer describes the characters and give examples from the text (think about the use of adjectives, naming, collocations, metaphors); how are participants and events represented (experiential function of language)

• Consider linguistic devices used by the writer which may be gendered he/she
• Say something about sentence structure (if relevant use a Transitivity Analysis)
• Consider the dialogues in the passage (if there are any): in what way do they contribute (add) to the characters’ roles?

Pls correct my structure and grammar and make sure I have followed all those points, I’m looking forward to aim 2:1 that is around 62% I know my English needs tidying up, some of my work is paraphrased which  I shouldn’t have done, can you make sure everything is re-worded and fixed I don’t want to get an academic misconduct as I have already had my warnings….Many Thanks!

In this paper, I want to consider the possibility of applying feminist critical discourse analysis (CDA) to examine gender in Tom Dyckhoff’s article House and Homme and also use as a support Sara Mills’ model for textual analysis. Firstly, considering the earlier applications of feminist Critical Discourse Analysis, one should now that these approaches have often been interested in the representation of gender. Gender and language studies have progressed from groundwork mainly produced and set by men, to a feminist aspect aimed at bringing sexism to light in language, and furthermore to research paradigm of supremacy and variation in language from a range of viewpoints. For decades gender role has played a huge role in how a person is looked up in a society, and gender plays a huge role in an individual characteristics.

With the development of feminist sociolinguistics, statements, for instance those of (Labov, 1972) that women create language closer to the standard form compared to men, according to Labov men and women were challenged as being biased and supported over-simplistic stereotypical generalisations. Tension of social networks and rising employment opportunities for women can be seen as being as much of a manipulate as gender in Lesley Milroy’s (1980).

The term Third Wave feminism has urbanized somewhat recently to depict a form of breakdown which is critical of  Second Wave feminism. It seems to be part of a broader postmodernist- prejudiced notional position, but, unlike some other forms of study, such as post-feminism, it place itself within a feminist route (Potter, 1996).

Discuss what Second Wave feminism has achieved a great deal: feminist campaigning and consciousness raising in the 1960s and past have altered attitudes to the role of women, The linguistic work which branched from Second Wave feminism focused on the stereotypical speech of these same women and made generalisations about all women’s language on the basis of anecdotal evidence (Spender, 1980; Lakoff, 1975).

Thus, women were assumed to be subjugated in corresponding ways by men and by a patriarchal social system; study drew consideration to the way in which women’s use of language displayed powerlessness, third Wave feminist analyses are interested in analysing the way that masculinity and femininity can be seen to exist at an institutional level, linked in some ways to special institutional contexts rather than simply at the level of the individual and can be connected stereotypically with attribute such as professionalism and competence. There are certain contexts, however, where women do seem to have brought changes into the predominantly masculine norms in institutions.
