Language, Gender and Power

Encultured Each of us is encultured. This is a life-long process in which our identities are formed. We learn gendered identities of what it is to be a man or a woman, and we learn those behaviours that society encourages, sanctions or condemns. It is through language that a great deal of enculturation occurs. Language can work to reflect social life, but also as a social fact to construct it. Consider the language we use with little children, both boys and girls. How do they differ? What impression of gender are they reinforcing or promoting?
