Abstract

Research elsewhere, within English and other languages, has shown that linguistic behaviour is one of the keys to understanding the nature and status of women in the attitudes transmitted through language (Frank and Anshen 1983; Cameron 1990; 1998; Coates 1998; Spender 1980; West and Zimmerman 1975 etc.). This article seeks to examine the language of the Shona people as it is related to women and women’s space by examining terminology for mvana [single mothers (…and more)] and their children, conceived out of marriage, to uncover and document explicit and implicit attitudes to women. The terms used in this article were collected through a questionnaire and discussions held in Harare and Mhondoro, especially targeted at the language which people speak, but is never recorded.
Mvana和她们的孩子:Shona人的语言与女性和女性空间的关系
其他地方的研究,在英语和其他语言中,已经表明,语言行为是理解女性在通过语言传播的态度中的性质和地位的关键之一(Frank和Anshen 1983;卡梅隆1990;1998;科茨1998;支出1980;West和Zimmerman 1975等)。本文试图检视修纳人的语言与女性及女性空间的关系,透过检视mvana(单身母亲等)及其非婚生子女的术语,揭露并记录对女性的明示与隐含态度。本文中使用的术语是通过在哈拉雷和Mhondoro举行的问卷调查和讨论收集的,特别是针对人们所说的语言,但从未记录下来。
