Интернет-технологии сквозь призму языкового сознания (гендерный анализ)

Abstract

Based on the underlying assumption that gender is a social and performative construct, the paper describes gender aspects in perception of IT images and symbolic figures in computer-mediated communication (CMC). It also examines the resources and techniques for constructing gender on the Net and investigates the role of the Net as an agent of social change in matters relating to gender. This exploration is aimed towards understanding the ways in which the Net as a very specific and not gender-neutral medium impacts and contributes to the construction of gender and gender practices in our linguistic consciousness.
