Explain the concept of gendered marking
Explain the concept of gendered marking
Lexical items are marked (changed) to differentiate them suggesting that they are different from the male norm.
-Covert marking can be shown through antonyms. For example young (unmarked phrase) and old (marked phrase)
-Overt marking uses affixation (actor/actress) or modified nouns (female doctor)
-Used because certain roles are stereotypically for one of the genders (e.g. ‘male nurse’ has to be marked because stereotypically nursing is a female role)
