Sex-marked language differences : a linguistic analysis of lexicon and syntax in the female and male dialogue in the eight original plays of Lillian Hellman

Bailey, Lucille Marie January 1991 (has links)
A randomly-selected sample of 31,115 words taken from the eight original plays of Lillian Hellman was analyzed on the basis of female and male dialogue. Lexical classes--verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns--were examined by studying terms described by other researchers, especially Mary P. Hiatt, as belonging to generally "feminine" or "masculine" categories. In these classes, differences were statistically significant based on gender in two areas.Adjective figures that took into account type 1) of adjective, 2) of referent, and 3) of speaker showed statistical significance. This was true only for the "feminine" adjectives, especially as used by female speakers for female referents. Pronouns were distributed through the plays and used by the genders of speakers at significant levels of difference. A connection was evidenced between each gender of speaker and the gender of pronouns used, a strong relationship that also showed significance by play.Areas of syntax studied were emphasis, communication unit length, and clause structure. Markings of emphasis were significant by gender, female characters having both more instances and more marked words. Length evidenced no difference, likely because of requirements of the dramatic setting. The study of clause structure showed that female characters were given more whole sentences and more coordination at significant levels.Each area studied was analyzed for statistical significance. Hiatt's results were also statisticaly calculated and reported. Significance was based on chi-square calculations, at a level of p < .05 for rejecting null hypotheses. In addition to an axis based on gender, figures were also computed for specific plays.Applying the categories to individual plays and characters showed Hellman"s use of these strategies to define personality. For instance, with adjectives and emphasis, types more often given to female characters were also given in comparatively large number to themen in the Hubbard plays (The Little Foxes, and Another Part of the Forest), thereby marking them as unusual and adding to their characterization. / Department of English

Os gêneros discursivos e a produção escrita nos livros didáticos de inglês

Jonadab Mansur Júnior 27 February 2013 (has links)
Pesquisas utilizando os gêneros discursivos para verificação da produção escrita em sala de aula de língua inglesa não são recentes. Desde as exigências dos documentos oficiais para o ensino-aprendizagem de Língua Estrangeira Moderna (LEM), no Brasil, Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN), de 1998, para o terceiro e quarto ciclos do Ensino Fundamental (EF) e do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) de 2011, a habilidade escrita se torna objeto de estudo por professores e estudiosos de língua e linguagem. Nesta visão, baseados na perspectiva de que todo enunciado é um elo na cadeia da comunicação discursiva, segundo Bakhtin (2010), identificamos a proposta de trabalho com os gêneros discursivos, observando o tratamento dado à produção escrita nas atividades dos Livros Didáticos de Inglês (LDI), do 9 ano do EF. Tivemos como objetivo apontar como é proposto, nos gêneros discursivos, o trabalho com a produção escrita nos LDI. Nossa investigação foi norteada pela abordagem sociocognitiva no campo da filosofia da linguagem na visão de Marcuschi (2005) e das concepções sociofilosóficas de Habermas (2002). Tomamos também como base a proposta sociodiscursiva em Bakhtin (2010) e a abordagem sócio-interacionista em Bronckart (1999), Dolz & Schneuwly (2004), B. Marcuschi & Cavalcante (2005) e Costa Val (2003). O corpus da pesquisa foi composto de dois LDI do aluno do 9 ano do EF. Elencamos categorias de análise de conteúdo para os gêneros do discurso selecionados; optamos por estabelecer essas categorias com base no que propõe o PNLD 2011 de LEM para as condições de produção escrita e Costa Val (2003). Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram a importância de uma maior sistematização, no LDI, quanto às condições de produção dos gêneros do discurso para o trabalho com a habilidade escrita e, também, o fornecimento de orientações pertinentes quanto à realização dessas atividades nas sequências didáticas propostas nos manuais didáticos. / Works using discursive genres to check about written productions for learning English classroom are not recent. Since the requirements of the official documents for teaching and learning a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) in Brazil National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) in 1998, for the fourth and third cycles of Elementary Education (EE), and in National Textbook Program (PNLD), in 2011, this skill becomes a reason of study for English language teachers and researchers. Therefore, based on the perspective that every utterance is a link in the chain of discursive communication, Bakhtin (2010), we analyzed the work with discursive genres observing the treatment given to the activities of written productions in English textbooks (ET) 9th year of EE. Our aim was to interpret as proposed in discursive genres work with writing in ET. Our research was guided by social cognitive approach in the philosophy of language in view of Marcuschi (2005) and socio-philosophical conceptions of Habermas (2002). We also based on the sociodiscursive theory of Bakhtin (2010) and socio-interacionist approach based on conceptions of authors like bronckart (1999), B. Marcuschi & Cavalcante (2005) and Costa Val (2003). The research corpus was composed of two student ET 9th year of EE. We listed categories of content analysis to the selected discursive genres; we decided to establish these categories on the basis of the proposed PNLD 2011 for the conditions of written productions and Costa Val (2003). The research result showed us the importance of a greater systematization, in EE, regarding the conditions of productions of discursive genres to work with writing skill, and also provides relevant guidance on the conduct of activities in the didactic sequences proposed in the ET.
