LIN251H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Computational Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Femininity
Document Summary
Doing femininity" at work: more than just relational practice: Likely very credible, conducted research, article published in the the routledge. Sociolinguistics reader despite the fact that it was from a long time ago, it is still being published in textbooks. Femininity is considered negative in many contexts. Both genders speak/act similarly (they focus on differences) That we already know the stereotypes and notions attached to femininity. Data was specific, authors made broad conclusions. The abrasiveness trap: high-achieving men and women are described differently in reviews. Published on fortune website; it has nothing to do with linguistics and it is not a scientific journal. I feel the intended audience is business managers and hr reps (regular people!) in order to destigmatize leadership attitudes in women, especially when they are performing the same actions as men (who are chastised less, and congratulated more) Hasn"t been subject to the same methodological scrutiny that a scientific journal would be.
