embodies attitudes as well as referential meanings.'Woman's language'has as foundation the attitude that women are marginalto the serious concerns of life,which are pre-empted by men.The mar-ginality and powerlessness of women is reflected in both the ways womenare expected to speak,and the ways in which women are spoken of.Inappropriate women's speech,strong expression of feeling is avoided,expression of uncertainty is favored,and means of expression in regard tosubject-matter deemed 'trivial'to the 'real'world are elaborated.Speechabout women implies an object,whose sexual nature requires euphemism,and whose social roles are derivative and dependent in relation to men.The personal identity of women thus is linguistically submerged;thelanguage works against treatment of women,as serious persons withindividual views.  \nThese aspects of English are explored with regard to lexicon(color terms,particles,evaluative adjectives),and syntax(tag-questions,and relatedaspects of intonation in answers to requests,and of requests and orders),as concerns speech by women.Speech about women is analyzed withregard to lady:woman,master :mistress,widozw:widozver,and Mr:Mrs.,Miss,with notice of differential use of role terms not explicitly markedfor sex(e.g.professional)as well.  \nSome suggestions and conclusions are offered for those working in thewomen's liberation movement and other kinds of social reform;secondlanguage teaching;and theoretical linguistics.Relevant generalizations inlinguistics require study of social mores as well as of purely linguistic data.  \n## I.INTRODUCTION\n\nLanguages uses us as much as we use language.As much as our choice of formsof expression is guided by the thoughts we want to express,to the same extentthe way we feel about the things in the real world governs the way we expressourselves about these things.Two words can be synonymous in their denotativesense,but one will be used in case a speaker feels favorably toward the objectthe word denotes,the other if he is unfavorably disposed.Similar situations arelegion,involving unexpectedness,interest,and other emotional reactions on thepart of the speaker to what he is talking about.Thus,while two speakers may  \nLANGUAGE IN soCIETY  \nbe talking about the same thing or real-world situation their descriptions mayend up sounding utterly unrelated.The following well-known paradigm willbeillustrative.  \n(1)(a)I am strong-minded.  \n(b)You are obstinate.  \n(c)He is pigheaded.  \nIf it is indeed true that our feelings
