Abstract

The author noticed that in many languages such as Spanish and French are gendered in nature, specifically, nouns are divided into two types: masculine and feminine. From this, the author wondered if use of gendered language would tend to be associated with a higher level of gender stereotype. If the correlation between language and gender stereotypes is determined, then, the author wondered if the existence of grammatical gender in languages will influence gender stereotypes. Therefore, the author are proposing 2 studies exploring the relationship between gendered language and level of gender stereotype, as well as the relationship between the grammatical gender and gender stereotypes through four steps--elimination, conditioning, testing, data analysis.
