Introduction
Language is a sign system that contains terms, concepts, and labels
that are distinguished by gender. Language also greatly influences our
perception and perspective on things.

Bahasa adalah sistem tanda yang berisi istilah, konsep, dan label yang
dibedakan berdasarkan Gender. Bahasa juga sangat mempengaruhi
persepsi dan perspektif kita tentang berbagai hal.
Gender refers to the sociocultural dimension of a person as male or female.
One aspect of gender gives birth to a gender role (general) which is an
expectation that defines how women and men should think, behave, and
feel.

Gender mengacu pada dimensi sosiokultural seseorang sebagai laki-laki atau

perempuan. Salah satu aspek gender melahirkan peran gender (umum)
yang merupakan harapan yang mendefinisikan bagaimana perempuan
dan laki-laki harus berpikir, berperilaku, dan merasa.
Language and gender itself is an area of study within sociolinguistics, aplied
linguistics, and related field that investigates varieties of speech
associated with a particular gender, or social norms for such gendered
language use.

terapan, dan bidang terkait yang menyelidiki jenis Bahasa yang terkait
dengan jenis kelamin (gender) tertentu, atau norma sosial untuk
penggunaan bahasa gender tersebut.

The Relationship Between Language and
Gender In Sociolinguistics
 Politeness

David James Jane

Compared with men, women use more patterns related to surprise and politeness.
Women pay more attention better than men in the polite or emotional, they use it as
a means to promote positive politeness.

Dibandingkan dengan pria, wanita menggunakan lebih banyak pola yang berhubungan
dengan kejutan dan kesopanan. Wanita memberikan perhatian lebih baik daripada pria
dalam hal sopan santun atau emosional, mereka menggunakannya sebagai sarana untuk
mempromosikan kesantunan positif.
The remarkable gender difference in politeness can be seen by the way women and men use compliments

women: give and receive significantly more compliments than men do. Generally they’re also perceive
compliments as positively affective speech acts, while men may perceive them differently

Perbedaan gender yang luar biasa dalam kesopanan dapat dilihat dari cara wanita dan pria menggunakan
pujian.
Wanita: memberi dan menerima lebih banyak pujian daripada pria. Umumnya mereka juga menganggap
pujian sebagai tindak tutur afektif positif, sementara pria mungkin melihatnya secara berbeda.
