摘要

本文考虑了澳大利亚淫秽语言审判中性别与咒骂之间关系的历史和当代表现。对19世纪和20世纪初澳大利亚媒体和法律话语中表达的语言意识形态的研究揭示了女性如何经常被描述为不淑女,在女性面前说脏话被认为是不受欢迎的。在这一时期,关于性别和脏话的普遍观点随着时间的推移而变得自然化,因此它们构成了当代攻击性语言法学中司法“常识”的一部分。此外,在妇女面前说脏话尤其令人反感,这一想法使土著妇女对警察说脏话的刑事处罚合法化。本文认为,有必要认识到话语中存在的性别语言意识形态,包括它们在维护等级制度和掩盖文化差异方面所起的作用。

‘A Woman’s Tongue’: Representations of Gender and Swearing in Australian Legal and Media Discourse
This article considers historical and contemporary representations of the relationship between gender and swearing in Australian obscene language trials. An examination of language ideologies articulated in media and legal discourse in nineteenth and early twentieth century Australia reveals how swearing by women was often depicted as unladylike, and swearing in the presence of women, considered undesirable. Commonly-articulated ideas about gender and swearing prevalent in this period have become naturalised over time, so that they form part of judicial ‘common sense’ in contemporary offensive language jurisprudence. In addition, the idea that swear words are especially offensive when uttered in the presence of women has functioned to legitimise the criminal punishment of swear words used by Indigenous women towards police. The article argues that there is a need to recognise the presence of gendered language ideologies in discourse, including the role they play in maintaining hierarchies and obscuring cultural differences.
