Genrix IV”, argued for the simplicity of 
speechof his wife; J. Austin described in 
the work of “Eternity of Nortinger” that 
the extravagant use of Isabelle’s speeches 
in meaningless and irrelevant speeches 
was specific to the women of that era).
German philosopher and linguist F. 
Mautner (1913) has also studied the 
methods of men and women speech in 
various social groups, and connects the 
origins of the women’s conversation style 
with the antique theater. In his opinion, 
men play the role of women for some pe-
riod of that time. However, the fact that 
the way of women’s talking is related to 
the fact that the women go to the stage.

English professor O.Espersen intro-
duced the chapter entitled “Woman” in 
his book “ Language: its nature, develop-
ment and origin “ (1922), where he ana-
lyzed men’s and women’s vocabulary, say-
ing that men’s words were much more 
“miserable” than women vocabulary.

In the Anthropological literature, the 
differences between the male and female 
conversations were written in the diaries 
of the 17th century missionaries. Accord-
ing to their records, there are many differ-
ences between men and women speech 
and this information has been subse-
quently proved by anthropologists.
In the speeches of the Coasati of Indians 
tribes in Luiziana, the change of verbs due 
to gender were observed.

ences also exist in the lexical and linguistic 
system. For example, in Japan, gender cate-

gory is reflected in all three persons of pro-
nouns. That is, it does not change only as a 
third person in all languages.
Many researchers have relied on the 
information they received and describe the 
language as “men” and “women”. However, 
the mistakes of these ideas have been clari-
fied in scientific research. In other words, 
the phonological, morphological, syntac-
tic, and lexical aspects of each of the “lan-
guage” systems clearly demonstrates that 
the gender of an individual is merely de-
fine the form of a word only.
In the mid-20th century, problems of 
interrelationships and domains of gender 
and language began to be discussed not 
only by anthropologists but also by dia-
lectologists. Although the way of women’s 
speech was not the object of their re-
search, the information they received was 
valuable and significantly superior to the 
initial and simple linguistic postulates.
Gender research has started to be 
studied as a whole, and has led to a new 
direction such as Sociolinguistics in solv-
ing gender and linguistic problems. Soci-
ology researcher’s task is not only a lan-
guage but also a language movement in

. They focus on variative skills of 
language. That is, it is understood that the 
speaker’s ability to communicate with a 
second language through a change of cir-
cumstances in the conversation. Note-
worthy is the stylistic variations. It in-
cludes the use of language tools due to the 
social group, age, and the use of language 
in relation to the social background and 
role of the speaker in the interview.

MONOGRAFIA POKONFERENCYJNA
Ideas that inspire to learn women 
“language” are related to the development 
of feminism in linguistics (1970-1980).
Separ Uorf’s ideas of 1970-1980 have a 
sharp feminist character, in which postu-
lates of linguistic theories are as follows:
1. Language determines one’s bounda-
ries for the upbringing of the person and 
perception of the existence;
2. Man manages to control the lan-
guage and to develop its norms;
3. Women are in a disadvantageous 
situation using the same language and use 
the language norms men have developed.
The above conclusions served as the 
basis for sociologists’ views of Edwin and 
Shirley Ardner about the role of language 
in society and their role in gender. One of 
Ardner’s leading ideas is that every social 
group has internal social considerations, 
but not all of them are freely expressed, 
since the form of expression and language 
are governed by the dominant group. As a 
result, weak social groups, such as wom-
en, use language norms developed by 
men in society. They have no choice but 
to express everything by means of “men’s 
language” and their term.

Sociolinguistic researches suggest that 
gender, as well as men and women’s atti-
tudes, is co-ordinated with age, status, 
ethnicity, as well as the origin of language 
variants development based on above fac-
tors is explained in researches. However, 
many researchers are widely trying to pro-
mote gender-related postulate in their nar-
rowly-guided work. That is why P. Ekert 
and S. McConnell’s Guilds offered different

views on this issue. They have said, “It is 
necessary to carry out a local observation, 
in a practical way of thinking.”
11
 In other 
words, avoiding all the “stubborn” postu-
lates and the views, gender should be 
linked with language, and state that it 
should be learned in social groups in prac-
tice. Gender does not appear apart from 
social groups and does not fit to other so-
cial groups. Hence, its linguistic organiza-
tional tools also change in accordance with 
social groups and cultures.
In the study of gender, men’s and 
women’s “tongues” should not be com-
pared between themselves, but rather 
their social cultural norms and rules, that 
is, to focus on learning in the same or-
ganization or the same group.
“There are no gender-specific linguis-
tic forms,” said J. Koate, “but there are 
some forms of women’s and men’s self-
determination.” In the future, we can say 
that it is a task of gender linguistics to 
explain according to what rules they are 
developing in the future.
