《唐顿庄园》英语语言中的性别歧视_英语论文

Sexism in English Language of Downton Abbey

摘要

《唐顿庄园》是一部以一座在约克逊的虚构庄园为背景的英国电视连续剧。故事因格兰瑟姆家族的爵位和唐顿庄园的继承权而展开,呈现了英国上层贵族和唐顿庄园中仆人们在森严的等级制度和男女不平等的制度下的生活。唐顿庄园见证了二十世纪初期英国社会的改变和历史的变迁。语言是社会的一面镜子,社会中的性别歧视很好地反映在了语言中。本文通过分析《唐顿庄园》英语语言中的性别歧视现象,探讨了那个时期社会中的性别歧视问题。

本文主要分为四个部分:第一部分对《唐顿庄园》做一个简单的介绍;第二部分分析了在构词、词语的选择使用和语义这三个方面,《唐顿庄园》中语言上表现出来的性别歧视;第三部分主要分析在《唐顿庄园》中,其他方面表现出来的性别歧视;第四部分探讨《唐顿庄园》英语语言中性别歧视的一些改变。

因为历史、社会、文化原因,《唐顿庄园》从第一季到第六季的每一集的语言中都渗透着性别歧视的影响。在悠久的历史上,受性别歧视影响的价值观和世界观根深蒂固,在语言上消除性别歧视的道路还很长。因此,本研究对于唤起人们对语言中性别歧视的重视和真正追求男女平等有一定的现实意义。

Abstract

Downton Abbey is a British TV series, whose background is set at a fictional estate in Yorkshire, Downton Abbey. The story begins with disputes over the succession of the family of the Earl Grantham and shows the life of the British upper class and of these servants under a strict hierarchy and the law of male superiority. Downton Abbey witnesses changes of British society, and ups and downs of history in early twentieth century. Language is a mirror of a society, so sexism in society is definitely reflected in language. By analyzing gender discrimination in English language of Downton Abbey, this paper explores sexism in the English society at that time. 

This thesis consists of four parts. The first part briefly introduces Downton Abbey; the second part analyzes sexism in English language in Downton Abbey from the perspectives of morphology, use of words, and semantics; the third part analyzes sexism in other aspects in Downton Abbey; the fourth part then discusses some changes of sexism in English language in Downton Abbey.

Because of history, social and cultural elements, every episode from Season One to Season Six of Downton Abbey includes sexism or the influence of it in language. In a long history, values and views on world views influenced by gender discrimination are deeply rooted, and there is still a long way to go to eliminate gender discrimination in language. Therefore, this study is of practical significance in arousing attention to gender discrimination in language and in the real pursuit of equality between women and men.
