Abstract

The study comprehensively analyses gendered language in English and explores its implications for perpetuating linguistic bias. By examining various linguistic features, including grammar, vocabulary, and discourse patterns, this study aims to unveil the subtle biases embedded within the language and shed light on the impact of such biases on social attitudes and perceptions. Through a critical lens, the article explores the historical roots of gendered language, its manifestation in contemporary society, and its consequences for gender equality and inclusivity. Furthermore, this paper discusses potential strategies for mitigating linguistic bias and promoting inclusive language practises. The findings and insights presented here provide a foundation for future research and offer actionable recommendations for individuals, educators, and policymakers to foster more honest communication.
