Gender Stereotypes and Language

Summary/Abstract: In Slovakia, gender sensitive language is not a well known and commonly used term. More of this topic is discussed in United States of America, Germany or in Czech Republic. There are still not many linguists who reflect this terminology. Use of gender sensitive language is closely connected with a knowledge that joining tradition roles and certain „male“ and „female“ facilities with certain sex is a social construct made by society that participates on discrimination of men and women. Using of gender sensitive language helps to reach social equality between men and women. In consequence, it could help to reach equality of treatment and chances among people.
