Abstract

As readers can see from the title, this article is a study on gender. The gender not as a grammar category because grammarians consider that the noun in English does not possess any special gender form. It is an attempt to describe sexisms, words which can be interpreted as infringement of independence, status or as some stereotypes manifested in the language. There are also some examples to demonstrate how cognitive mechanisms can be used to evade acknowledgment of the changing relationship between the sexes
