摘　　要：从20世纪60年代起,英语语言中的性别歧视现象成为语言学家和对语言学感兴趣的学者们研究的热点问题,直到如今,这一课题仍然吸引着众多学者就此研究的发展做出努力。基于前人已取得的研究成果和语言学理论,本文尝试探析了性别歧视的成因,认为有两个主要因素:文化印记和社会现实。由此文章得出结论,认为语言本质上是对社会的反映,如果社会不平等的现象存在,单从语言学方面实现真正的平等只是空中楼阁。因此,消除语言中的性别歧视在于社会变革和女性社会地位的提高。Since 1960s, sexism in English has remained a heated topic for linguists and researchers, and till now it still attracts a lot of linguistic learners to make progress in its study. Based on the previous research and the theories of hnguistics, the present thesis makes a tentative study on the causes of sexism. To the author＇s belief, there are two predominant factors attributing to the issue： cultural mark and social reality. What＇s more, a natural conclusion can be drawn that language, in essence, is a reflection of society. If social inequality remains, linguistic attempts to achieve real equality exclusively are empty talk, so getting rid of sexism in English lies in the social reform and the improvement of women＇s social status.
