摘要:: 就性别身份而言，建构主义反对本质主义的生物决定论和性别划分的二元对立。本质主义认为，性别身份是由基因决定的，是先天遗传的结果。与此相反，建构主义把性别身份看作是话语建构的过程。在后现代语境下，性别身份是人们在语言交流的过程中通过在词汇语法系统中的选择建构的。性别身份的话语建构生产和再生产了不平等的性别关系和性别主义的意识形态。本文运用批评话语分析的方法，揭示话语中存在的性别偏见和不平等的性别关系以及语篇中隐含的性别主义意识形态，从而有助于从根本上消除语言中的性别歧视现象。

Abstract:: In contrast with essentialist approaches to gender identity which emphasize the binary oppositionbased on the genetically determined biological distinction，constructivist approaches regard gender identityas socially constructed in the process of linguistic interaction. In the post-modern context，gender identity isdiscursively constructed through lexicogrammatical choices in the linguistic system and in so doing discourseproduces and reproduces unequal gender relations and sexist ideologies in one way or another. Through thecritical analysis of everyday discourse，this study aims to reveal the existent gender bias and gender inequalityin discourse and expose the hidden sexist ideologies underlying gendered discourse，with a view to eliminatinggender discrimination from its root.
