Текст книги "Гендер и язык"

1. Многие выводы этого раздела относятся, в основном, к женщинам и мужчинам среднего класса белой расы, однако в работе Гудвин о языке темнокожих подростков Филадельфии [Goodwin 1980] и в работе Водак о языке взрослых рабочего класса Вены [Wodak 1981] подтверждается общая модель (работа Гудвин рассматривается в разделе 6.2.2; работа Водак – в разделе 6.5). Исследование Бента Прислера, в котором изучались мужчины и женщины в трех группах занятости (административной, духовной, физической) в смешанном и однополом общении, показывает, что многие языковые особенности типичные для речи женщин, не зависят от возраста и социального класса.

2. В выводах мы обратились к работам [Aries 1976; Jones 1980; Kalcik 1975; Wodak 1981].

3. Преподаватели школы для мальчиков Хакни Даунз (Hackney Downs) в Лондоне обнаружили, что общение мальчиков в классе было грубым, стилизованным и соревновательным, такой способ общения делал невозможным обсуждение проблем личного плана («Guardian», Women, 12 марта 1985). По этой причине в школе был введен новый курс «Обучение жизненным навыкам», который среди всего прочего ставил целью научить мальчиков общаться на личные темы.
