摘　　要：All sorts of linguistic sexist phenomena still exist widely in the English language.They are not only a manifestation of sexual discrimination in language,but also a reflection of politicized language,a cultural stereotype,a power ideology,a social attitude,and a cognitive pattern in language system.Although the situation of sexist attitude has been alleviated due to the movement of women’s emancipation,the sexism in the English language is not completely eliminated just because of morphological asymmetry and semantic asymmetry.So,there are still needs for both the reformation of language and the change of public perception and evaluation,which will push the neutral language to develop in an unavoidable trend.
