Main Article Content
Abstract
By referring to the works ofMills (1995, 2006) and Montoro (2014), this paper gave an overview of feminist stylistics including concept, origin, directions of research, approaches and methods to Vi- etnamese readers. More specifically, to help the readers figure out in part the content and approach of this relatively new stylistic strand, the paper put some pages to introduce one concrete and interesting research aspect of feminist stylistics: the gendered sentence. Its final goal is to change awareness of the gender through analysing issues in the texts, with a view to changing awareness and reality of our society.
Keywords:
feminist stylistics, comtemporary Western stylistics, feminist criticism, feminist linguis- tics, critical linguistics, gendered sentence (gender-specific sentence)
