Occupational Inequality and Sex-Role Stereotyping in Dictionaries of English: A Causal Link?

von Dorota Osuchowska

196 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Have dictionaries of English indeed affected their users’ predisposition towards women to such an extent that we can posit a causal relation between what they propose and some of the forms of occupational sexism that still exist? Applying a data-collection methodology that has not been previously resorted to in any studies into the portrayal of women in these dictionaries challenges such a claim: the real exposure to sexist content is actually smaller than previous work is suggesting.
