Abstract
"The unequal representation of males and females int the use of language has been extensively studied in languages such as English. These studies show that in many ways languages discriminate against women, créate negative stereotypes of women, reinforce negative attitudes against women and deprecate womanhood whilst valourising manhood. This paper makes an exploratory survey of the linguistic representation of males and females in Dagbanli by examining ordinary everyday discourse"
