摘　　要：性别歧视性语言指的是不必要地区别女性和男性或排除、轻视、贬低任一性别的表达方式(Parks&Roberton,1998,p.455)。性别歧视性语言既有针对女性的,也有针对男性的,但相比较而言,女性要比男性更经常地成为此种语言的受害者。因此,本文主要着眼于针对女性的性别歧视性语言。文章比较了汉语和英语中的性别歧视性语言,主要提到了两种性别歧视性语言各自的特点,以及在词序、职业名称、称谓、谚语、歌曲等方面表现出来的相似性,并就如何消除性别歧视性语言给出了建议。Sexist language refers to ＂words, phrases,and expressions that unnecessarily differentiate between women and men or exclude, trivialize, or diminish either gender （Parks ＆ Roberton, 1998, p.455） . Although there is sexist language towards women and that towards men, women are actually more often than men the victims of this kind of language. So the present paper mainly focuses on sexist language towards women. It first analyzes why sexist language exists. Then it makes a comparison between sexist language in Chinese and English. Here, typical features in both languages, which show the stereotype of women, are mentioned. Following this, examples are provided to show the similarities manifested in word order, occupational terms, addressing terms, proverbs and pop songs. Finally it gives suggestions to the ways to eliminate sexist language.
