    How is 'authentic' linguistic femininity in Japan manifested in popular texts? We analyze the dialogue of female characters in Wakaba, a 2005 Japanese drama set in two very different parts of 'regional' Japan - Miyazaki and Kobe. Through this analysis, we examine two contradictory discourses circulated through popular media. The first is that linguistic femininity is based in Standard Japanese - a surprisingly persistent ideology despite a curren…

  • Constructing Linguistic Femininity in Contemporary Japan

    Shigeko Okamoto, Janet S SmithARTICLEGender and Language2008Citada por: 7Referencias: 5

    This article examines the constitution of ‘Japanese women’s language,’ or joseego, as a prescriptive linguistic norm for women through an analysis of scholarly and media representations of linguistic femininity in contemporary Japan.

  • Women in charge

    Open AccessJanet S SmithARTICLELanguage in Society1992Citada por: 19Referencias: 14

Previous research on language and gender across a number of languages has equated the speech of women with powerlessness. The literature on Japanese women's speech would support this notion. It characterizes Japanese female speech as soft, polite, indirect, in sum, as powerless. This presents problems for women who must command. The present…
