Abstract:
This paper critically examines the gender discrimination of noun patterns
of Sinhala and English languages which create psychological barriers to social
development and subsequently country development. The objective of this research is to
understand linguistic gender discriminations and, to find the ways of eliminating the
same. Secondary data collection method finds as the methodology of this research
through library surveys. From the ancient period of the world, people were discussing
about the male dominancy in different countries, whereas it has become melted down to
a considerable extent nowadays with the new arrivals of social ideologies. This male
dominancy governed the Eastern countries rather than western world in many ways. The
depressed fair sex was harassed a lot in some certain countries, but this was not
observed with special reference to the language in those days since there were crucial
areas rather than language. The feminist movement was formed against these practices
in different ways in the world with various goals.
Through the findings of our study, make a huge impact on conventional
grammar schools by showing how this language dominancy works and disturbs to the
social development. Visibly this language feet does not make physical ill-treatments to
females as it seems but a critical exclusion has been recognized through our conclusions
over here. For instance, some feminine words are not able to be formed without having
masculine roots in both Sinhala and English languages. It reflects the dependability of
fair sex due to the gender fact.
