Language and Gender in the Golden Age of the Egyptian Cinema
2023
Overview
Since the early 1970s, the relationship between language and gender has become one of the most pressing issues in sociolinguistics. In our daily conversations, gender differences in language use have also become context dependent and a source of an increasingly frequent interest. It has been investigated in the setting of social construction theories of gender. Gender dominance has long been incorporated into English studies as a linguistic variable in the field of linguistics. In our modern society, woman has become equal with man. Although some linguists have shed light on woman as a weak creature with unequal opportunities with man, she has been portrayed positively with an ability to manage dialogue successfully in some movies of the golden age of the Egyptian cinema which have fought the issue of woman marginalization, referring to her ability to occupy the most prestigious positions. The study aims to show the relationship between gender dominance and the way language is employed through applying the differing approaches to language and gender presented by Otto Jespersen (1922), Robin Lakoff(1975), Deborah Tannen (1990), and developed by Jennifer Coats (2016) to the most important dialogues between characters in both \"Taste of Fear\" and \"My Wife, the Director General\" movies since one of them shows the weakness of woman and the dominance of man, while the other shows the strength of woman and her resistance to male domination by relying on herself and occupying the highest positions. Since facial expressions are fundamental emotion stimuli in conveying messages in social interactions, Manon Kropp theory of non verbal communication will also be employed for showing the relationship between body language and conveying messages. The study in this way sheds light on gender dominance and differences in language use by male and female characters: the more dominant gender is, the more strong language is.
