A Sociolinguistic Perspective on the Language of Gender in the Novel the Four Winds

Abstract

In recent years, feminism has spread widely worldwide, and communication and dialogue between men and women have increased internationally, requiring the guidance of gender language theory. Meanwhile, Western linguists have made many achievements in gender linguistics, such as defect theory, dominance theory, difference theory, politeness theory and construct theory. In order to help people better understand the understanding of gender language differences, contribute to effective communication between men and women, and promote social peace and stability, this study will use a combination of close textual reading, dialogue analysis, an example analysis and comparative analysis to study the language style and dialogue of Elsa, the heroine of the novel the Four Winds, and ultimately conclude that the formation of women's language style is influenced by personal experience, family environment, and The conclusion is that the formation of women's language style is influenced by personal experience, family environment and social environment. At the same time, the variation of the above factors, in reality, will also make the language style have diversity.
