| This study explores conventional and current gendered discourses, showing the impact that feminism has had on use of language. Students in two English classes at a teacher preparation college worked as facilitators or observers and collected conversations between spouses with the purpose of investigating the social vicissitudes evident in colloquial expressions of couples. A total number of 53 students cooperated with Grace Hui Chin Lin & Douglas S. Jarvie as facilitators or observers to observe conversation patterns of spouses. Thereafter, Lin and Jarvie interviewed them and began with the open-ended question, “How do contemporary Taiwanese couples talk to each other?” In these interviews, the facilitators or observers largely used Bem’s sex role inventory to describe the characteristics of conversations between spouses. However, they suggested seven additional adjectives that were not in Bem’s inventory and these were added to the descriptors. The purpose of this study is to show that Taiwanese spouse talk is part of the present contexts influenced both by feminist ideas and traditionally patriarchal contexts. Indeed, the gap between the attitudes of the younger and older generations is due to differences in their situations. | |
