Language not only allows us to com

20、municate our thoughts and ideas to others but also helps us understand the world and how others think. Words and ideas convey much more than the basic information we use them for. Our choice of words, examples, context, and grammatical structure all contribute to forming a picture of ourselves and o

21、ur world view. However, language is not a neutral vehicle in the representation of reality, and the mere existence of non-sexist and feminist terms does not guarantee their usage. Many of the words and ideas we use in everyday speech are overtly coded with sexist or gendered understandings which dis

22、tract from their true intent. The only way to truly create a neutral language is to eliminate all of the sexist, feminist, gender-encoded terms and replace them with new ones. However, even this is not a guarantee that the words will be used in the intended manner or even that the cultural understan

23、dings which are attached to the non-neutral terms will be changed. Sexist use of language can not, very feasibly, be changed simply through the replacement of certain words or terms.

Historically, as something to be subdued, exploited, and men have treated nature as they treat womenadmired. Our concepts of gender and the relation of those concepts to rea

26、lity are reflected in our choice of words and referents. Language and our use of it are almost entirely entrenched in our understanding of the world. Therefore, commonly held beliefs about gender and the differences between men and women are reflected in language use. When gender neutral or feminine

27、 terms are introduced into a society still equals dominated by men, their intended neutrality is thwarted in actual usage. Indeed, if man is humanwoman will always be the standard against which (linguistically and culturally), then man measured. 41. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage? A.
