Abstract

Language is the product of society, that is, a social phenomenon, but also reflects society. Women and men differ in language expression, and differences in male and female sexual expression are considered to be one of the characteristics of modern Japanese. The language used by women is also subtly different depending on the object of conversation, identity, parenting, occupation, etc. Men are free and casual when they speak. Women's words are elegant, euphemistic, and respectable. They are one of the important features of modern Japanese. With the improvement of the level of social education, the increase of women's employment opportunities and the depth and breadth of women's participation in social activities, the differences in Japanese gender language are shrinking. Mastering the basic characteristics of female language and studying its development trends play an important role in learning Japanese and communicating well with Japanese.
