The differences in language use and attitude towards language between men and women in Saudi Arabia
(University of Pretoria, 2022-06-06) Alzahrani, Fatimah; Tirvassen, Rada; Kritzinger, Koos
The topic of gender differences has attracted considerable critical attention from linguists because of the importance that sociolinguistics offers to the complex relationship between language and gender. Gender separation in the social setting could be a significant factor in the disparities in language use between men and women. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the relationship between language and gender in Saudi Arabia, a gender-segregated society. This involves determining if the male and female students differ in their language use and attitudes towards Saudi Arabic varieties.
