@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00006411, author = {Mizokami, Yuki}, journal = {ことばの科学}, month = {Dec}, note = {In my former paper dealing with women's language research in the English language, I critically argued that the androcentric ideology had greatly influenced the findings of sociolinguistic research on sex differences in language use. I also pointed out that even feminist researchers had been affected by the androcentric ideology, and as a result they had conspired to reinforce stereotypes of women's language. In this paper, first of all, I would like to critically examine some sex difference research and stereotypes of women's speech drawn from these studies in Japanese sociolinguistics. Then by discussing my research results which seem to be showing sex similarity between women's and men's speech, I would like to try to foreground the actual boundary ambiguity between men and women in order to undermine the man/woman binary division.}, pages = {105--126}, title = {Ambiguous boundary between women's and men's speech in the Japanese language in the use of polite expressions}, volume = {16}, year = {2003} }
