Studies have reported that women are more likely to use |
|
|
standard, prestige linguistic forms than are men of the same social |
|
|
class. One account for this phenomenon is the so-called “linguistic |
|
|
insecurity.” The explanation claims that women __1__ the prestigious |
|
5 |
and more standardized language of the social classes immediately |
|
|
above their own in order to become more prestigious and powerful |
|
|
themselves. This account was __2__ advanced as a way of explaining |
|
|
not only women’s usage patterns but also the usage patterns in these |
|
|
same studies of the lower middle class, which “hypercorrected” its |
|
10 |
language, emulating linguistic features of the middle class in order to |
|
|
gain social prestige. In this way the language of men was linked to a |
|
|
working-class orientation seeking __3__ prestige and local affiliation, |
|
|
while the language of women, reaching upward across sociolinguistic |
|
|
class strata, was held to reflect their social and linguistic insecurity. |
|
15 |
One problem with this account is that it takes our social stereotypes |
|
|
and reifies them into scientific explanation. We might easily |
|
|
understand the situation as working in the opposite direction, with |
|
|
local, vernacular __4__ to sound like “one of the guys” as a kind of |
|
|
linguistic insecurity. This account is therefore unsatisfactory because |
|
20 |
it tries to forge a simple link between language use and gender |
|
|
across a wide variety of situations, while ignoring the possibility that |
|
|
other social factors, such as ethnic identity and workplace |
|
|
interactions, might play a crucial role. |
