摘　　要："萨皮尔—沃尔夫假说"认为语言不仅是思维的工具,同时也强烈影响和制约着思维,在这一观点影响下的性别歧视语言研究进一步揭示语言与思维、文化的关系。美国总统就职演说一向被视为公共演说范本,但现有研究很少注意到其中存在的性别歧视语言。本文将历届美国总统就职演说作为分析样本,以20世纪60年代美国女权运动发展为界点,分析了女权运动发展前后美国总统就职演说中性别歧视语言的特点和典型表现,总结了社会文化、价值观变迁对性别歧视语言演变产生的影响。Sapir-Whorf is hypothesis holds that language is not merely the tool of thought but also influences thought and certain kinds of non-linguistic behaviors.This view puts more emphasis on the relationships between language,thought,and culture,drawing more attention to the cultural influence on language and the influence of language on thought.The inaugural addresses of the U.S.presidents,more often than not,are regarded as outstanding models for public speeches,but few researches and studies have noticed the existing gender-biased words and phrases which severely degrade the speeches and may inaccurately lead the trend of thought.Thus,this paper analyzes the typical features of gender-biased issues in the inaugural addresses of the U.S.presidents before and after the development of the feminist movement in the1960s,showing the impact on language under different cultural circumstances and social values.
