ffer a unified treatment of discourse analysis as a tool for the study of language and gender.can also state that there is no well-defined approach to discourse that can be labeled «feminist discourse analysis». work focused on studying male and female communicative behavior in three languages ??- English, Russian and Kazakh - and research in realizing the rich potential of meanings developed in this form of belles-lettres as tales.
We managed to prove that tales bear the traces of belles-lettres : tales are also short stories as each tale has a fairy or mystic or magic but story with all its characteristics ; any tale can contain piece of poetry (there are plenty of tales we know with verses, poems); a tale can be dramatic by content too; and moreover, we now face such situation when all the tales are recorded, digitized and available in any form a reader wishes. We can also state that t he signs of mythological and belles-lettres experience are remained both in folklore and classical literature up to day. The mythology is not of systematic and full character in comparison with that of the ancient Greek or Rome or China. But it is possible to find out the traces of Russian and Kazakh mythology in correspondent folklore samples.
We have carried out analyses of the tales from the three languages ??stipulated in this research. The analysis was not only based on functional and pragmatic approach to language study but also centered on modern trends in cognitive linguistics, socio-cultural studies, cognitive, psychological and a number of other factors.the analysis and resuming the theoretical materials we can conclude that discourses regarding men and women still differ today. This was exemplified in every tale s consideration textually and graphically. For example, women are perceived as being subject to outside influences (to their detriment) - that they lack «agency», the power to initiate actions in their own lives - they are largely victims of external forces. Men, however, are seen as having power to choose, as being agents for their own actions, so that men live to create a persona. The result (power effects) of this type of discourse, which is common in many areas of men s and women s image, is that we attempt to change environments for women.
Our work has explored the relationship between gender and language through the analysis of discourse in interaction. Some chapters compare the discourse of females and males; others analyze interaction among females. All the analytic chapters both provide model analysis of conversational interaction and make significant theoretical contributions to the literature on gender and language. Of the many methodological and theoretical approaches to this topic currently being pursued, the one embodied in this collection can be thought of as ethnographically oriented discourse analysis or, alternatively, interactional sociolinguistics. The chapters provide context-sensitive microanalysis based on observation and critical perception of the tales. The time is ripe for this approach, as gender and language research nears the close of its second decade., This work can be used as a kind of casebook for the field of interactional sociolinguistics since it demonstrates how work in the field addresses a particular sociolinguistic issue. The collection...
