Critical discourse analysis of gender language differences in the workplace

In recent years, the study of gender equality has gradually enriched with the development of feminist thought, among which the issue of gendered language has steadily attracted the attention of more and more people. And the workplace, as one of the social environments greatly affected by gender differences, can reflect the differences in gender language. The research in this area is scarce. Therefore, this research explores the current gender language differences in the workplace environment. This paper extracts 32 groups of dialogues from the Taiwan drama “The World Between Us” as the analysis corpus. At the same time, Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method is used to explore the social factors behind this difference, with Lakoff's female language characteristics as an auxiliary method. This shows the current development of Gender Equality in practice, It not only provides some enlightenment for the development of a harmonious and positive workplace environment but also provides some perspectives for the research of gender issues.
