如何使用有性别特征的名词[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 g\Nzdyz~Aw4_ObVh FroG]
[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 Ya'Q[?J^wCR$'JhGG&FroG]
使用没有性别区分的语言对于某些作者而言似乎是没有必要的,但是,如果一概使用男性化的代名词则会给读者留下这样的印象,即认为女性不包括在作者所指的群体当中。虽然有人会反驳说男性化的代名词"he" 和"his"同时指代男性和女性,但是读者而非作者完全会产生上述的印象。因为很多读者读到男性化的代名词时会认为仅指男性,所以,作者可能是不经意地创造了这种错误的印象。

基于经验得来的重要方法就是避免使用具有性别特征的用语;只是在必须使用名词才能完成句子的情况下,可以使用"他或她"("he or she")作为替代。多数情况下可以重写一个句子避免使用具有性别特征的名词。

下面将介绍三种方法。第一种是最理想的。不要使用“他们”代替他和她,“他们”应该只是在指称复数的情况下才使用。这里的每一个规则都提供了一个避免使用具有性别特征用语的方法。

1、重写一个句子避免使用任何名词 通常可以用"the" 或"a"代替该名词。

2. 如果必要的话,使用"one"代替"he or she"或"his or her"。但是,如果可能的话,也应该避免使用这一表达,因为"one"这个词用起来并不容易。

3、如果必要的话,将主语由单数改为复数。如果你所指的并非一个明确的个体而是一类个体,你可以使用一个复数的主语,这样就可以避免使用具有性别特征的名词,同时还可以避免不正确地使用“他们”("their")这个名词。

4、避免使用"s/he"作为名词正确的替代。有人提议采用"s/he"代替"he or she.",但是"s/he"并非一个单词,而且也不容易读。(能将之读为"she"或"s 斜线he"吗?哪个读音可取?)

6、正确使用"Ms." 和 "Mrs."。如果你知道一个人将自己称作"Mrs." 或"Miss,",你应该尊重别人的这种称呼。但是,如果你不知道该人的偏好,则你应使用"Ms."。不应该要求女性通过对"Mrs." 或"Miss,"的使用表明自己的婚否。同样,使用"Mr."指称一位男性时也并不表明他的婚否。虽然"Ms."实际上并非一个较长术语的缩写,但是人们已经接受了在这个术语后面加一个点。

7、正确使用姓氏。如果一位女性选择使用她的婚前姓氏而不是婚后姓氏,或者同时使用她的婚前姓氏和婚后姓氏(不管有无连字符),你应该尊重她的这种称呼。同时,如果一个人使用了包含父母姓氏的复姓,则你应该尊重她的这种称呼。
