Gender Representation of Boys and Girls: A Corpus-Based Study

Original language description

<p>Despite the increasing disclosure of gender patterns in various regions and countries, uneven gender representation are still persistent. Further study revealing gender-biased representation is therefore necessary. With the growing application of corpus to the discourse of gender in recent years, the present study is to display the gender representation in the unexplored English Web 2013 sample. In line with previous works, the present study explores what verbs collocate with boy/boys and girl/girls as subjects and objects and what adjectives modify them with a view to demystifying the underlying implications. The findings of the present investigation confirms earlier literature to a certain degree, but suggest unexpected words collocating with different genders which may refresh the traditional images of boy and girl in the public’s minds: the dominant occurrences of girl/girls, more athletic image of girl/girls, negative semantic prosody associated with both genders, and more mental endeavor by girls.</p>
