Meaning in Gender Theory: Clarifying a Basic Problem from a Linguistic‐Philosophical Perspective
Hypatia 20 (2):48-68 (2005)
Abstract
The author investigates the notion of linguistic meaning in gender research. She approaches this basic problem by drawing upon two very different conceptions of language and meaning: that of the logician Gottlob Frege and that of the linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. Motivated by the controversial response the Anglo-American sex/gender debate received within the German context, the author focuses on the connection between this epistemological controversy among feminists and two discursive traditions of linguistic meaning , to show how philosophy of language can contribute to current feminist debatesMy notes
