Abstract

Abstract Placed at the interface between metalexicography and gender studies, this short article discusses issues concerning gender representations in present-day dictionaries. Evoking recent controversies regarding the representation of gender-related terms such as “cisgender” or “woman” in The Oxford English Dictionary, the essay goes on to discuss the prescriptive/descriptive opposition concerning lexicographical representations, taking its cue from previous approaches, which suggest re-envisaging the prescriptive/descriptive dyad as a continuum (Straaijer, 2009; Wilton 2014), or replacing this traditional binary model with a nonbinary approach (Nossem, 2018; Turton, 2020).

论词典与性别表现

摘要本文站在元词典学与性别研究的交叉点，探讨了当代词典中的性别表征问题。唤起最近关于性别相关术语如“顺性别”或“女人”在牛津英语词典中的代表性的争议，这篇文章继续讨论关于词典表征的规定性/描述性对立，从之前的方法中得到提示，建议将规定性/描述性二元体重新设想为一个连续体(Straaijer, 2009;Wilton 2014)，或者用非二元方法取代这种传统的二元模型(Nossem, 2018;Turton, 2020)。
