Opis

Through time, considerable changes have occurred in the world and thus affected the societies and influenced their languages. New words have appeared replacing the old-fashioned ones and have been part of today's languages. As language is considered as the mirror of humans' feelings and emotions, the use of words and expressions differ not only from one person to another, but also from one sex /gender to another. Hence, since the society is changing, the use of language must certainly change due to the fact that it reflects society. The question is then: if differences are to be found, are they related specifically to gender?
