Abstract


This course is designed for lower-level undergraduate students who have no previous knowledge of linguistics. The purpose of the course is described on teh syllabus as follows:


The topic of this course is an area which is currently controversial and has only recently become the subject of serious study. The course will not present you with definitive answers to all the questions raised by feminists and scholars investigating language, but will acquaint you with the current state of the field--the facts, ideas, opinions, and arguments about sexism in language and sex-based differences in language use. An equally important purpose of the course will be to prepare you to respond to the continuing controversies by providing you with a conceptual framework to evaluate future discussions of these issues.
