3. 国内外研究现状

In recent years, great achievements have been made by scholars both at home and abroad in the studies of gender discrimination in English language and its factors. Otto Jesperson, the Danish linguist, in his Growth and Structure of the English language, points that English is the most masculine language as far as he is concerned. Denmark Jesperson is the earliest linguist who focuses on #8220;gender language#8221;. In 1923, he published the Development and Structure of English. In which he said:#8221; English is the language most familiar to me#8221; and he thought that English is a #8220;gender language#8221;. After him, some linguists criticized him for his conclusion that male language is preponderated than female language. Therefore, during that period of time, the research about sexism in English is scattered.

Chinese famous linguist Dr. Yang yong-lin has also done a great contribution to researching sexism in English. In 2004, Yang yong-lin published A Study of Sociolinguistic Issues. He considered that the research of sexism in English can be divided into four periods of time:1. Enlightenment stage (60#8217;s 20 century) 2.all the people participant stage(70#8217;s 20 century) 3.science research stage(80#8217;s 20 century) In the fourth stage, scholars began to try to study the sexism in English while treat it as a subject of sociolinguistic, they manage to explain the phenomena of sexism through #8220;linguistic relativity#8221;. In the first stage, there are two notable features, the discussion covered comparatively narrow and the study of sexism usually appeared as the appendant to feminism and social issues. In the second stage, the research is mostly not systemically trained in linguistics so the attitudes partly have #8220; folk etymology, Till the fourth stage, the research about sexism in English has reached a more mature stage.
