 Constructivism theory文献综述

Later, there developed another theory –constructivism, represented by the social linguist Deborah Cameron。 These constructivists are strongly opposed to the traditional dualism which diametrically opposed to both sexes。 In their opinion, language differences are not determined by gender identities, conversely, they believed that a person’s gender identity is created by social practices (including linguistic behavior)。 In other words, intensive similar situations with praise or punishments teach people how to talk according to their sexual identity。
