Chapter 2 Literature Review 

2.1 Key Concept Defined 
The  influence  of  gender  on  language  has  always  drawn  scholars’  attention  as people  are  curious  about  differences  between  men  and  women.  In  the  twentieth century,  many  explanations  for  differences  in  masculine  language  and  feminine language have come out gradually. As so many explanations existed, the exposition on these explanations would be discussed in terms of time in this part. According to Zhao (Zhao  Ronghui,  1999,  p.25),  the  gender  language  study  can  be  divided  into  two phases with 1960s as a watershed. The  study  of  gender  language  can  be  traced  back  to  ancient  Greek  and  Roman period.  In  a  hypothesis  of  the  definition  of  genus  in  grammar,  genusis  is  the corresponding representation of the sexus in biology, which is based on the theory of Animism,  a  universal  epistemology  at  that  time.  Although  this  view  has  not  been proved yet, many language experts agree upon this idea, for instance, J. Grimm and W. von  Humboldt.  They  think  the  masculine  nouns  represent  positive  power  while  the feminine nouns reflect negative and subordinate meaning. Since this tentative view is human’s first exploration on gender language, it is  easy  to  find  limits  in  this  theory, especially when it applies to the language which doesn’t have masculine and feminine attribute, for instance Chinese.
