【摘要】 本文报道了对广州本土学生语言态度性别差异的研究结果:卡方检验和访谈未见受试对普通话和粤语认同方面的性别差异,但在"校内课外"、"校外"非学习环境下及其他"可能的场合",男女受试在语言选用方面均存在显著性别差异:女生较男生更多使用普通话,男生较女生更多使用粤语。我们认为这种现象可在社会性别建构论框架内从社团实践理论视角得到更为合理的解释。更多还原

【Abstract】 This paper reports on the results of a questionnaire study and interviews of local high school students in Guangzhou,the focus of which is the gender difference of their language attitudes towards Putonghua (P) and Cantonese (C),the two language varieties that co-exist in Guangzhou. X2 tests showed no gender difference in their language preferences for either P or C,but significant differences were found in their reported use of P and C in the contexts of "school outside class" and "outside school" during leisure activities,and as well as "whenever and wherever" possible to make a choice between the two varieties: female participants tend to use more P than their male counterparts and the boys use more C than the girls. This gender-specific linguistic behavior could be more satisfactorily accounted for from the perspective of the Social Gender Constructionist Model——the approach of Community of Practice——than by applying the difference-oriented theories predominant before the 1990s.更多还原
