| Title | Russian Dick-tionary as Institution of Sexism: Changes in the Constructed Meanings of Gender in the Dictionary Entries from 1992 to 2007 |
| Summary | This thesis focuses on the study of sexism institutionalized in the Russian explanatory dictionary. I analyze how the meanings of gender are constructed in the dictionary entries and how they have been changed under the influence of conservative discourse in the debate on language. I use critical discourse analysis of the texts related to recent debate on the Russian language to examine the underpinning assumptions about nature of language and linguistic change. Further I compare the changes in the constructed meanings of gender from 1992 to 2007 edition of Ozhegov Russian Language Dictionary. I find that there has been a methodical change of the constructed meanings toward more patriarchal representation of women and men. |
