Item The feminisation of Russian and Polish a feminist Idea? Or a real tendency in Language(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2017-06-08) Scheller-Boltz, Dennis; Foreign Business Communication at Institute for Slavic Languages, Vienna University of Economics, AustriaThis article tackles the question whether and to what extent one can speak of a rising tendency of feminisation of the Russian and Polish language today. It is highly visible today that both languages, Russian and Polish contain more and more elements and linguistic forms which make us speak of a tendency to feminise these languages. However, it is also possible to assume that the significant use of the very different feminine forms is only the result of a feminist idea, but it is not the result or the beginning of a change in and of language. This article does not intend to examine the ways in which Russian and Polish are feminised. This article is dedicated to the question of why a feminisation of language can be observed in general, why feminine forms penetrate languages at all and are regarded as relevant for a language, why feminine forms are used and which strategies of feminisation are noticed.Item Russian gender linguistics forced to respond can women be made visible in communication? (with examples from Polish, Czech, and Slovenian)(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2015) Scheller-Boltz, DennisThis paper deals critically with current methodological approaches in Russian gender linguistics. It will be shown that we need to introduce and apply other approaches to further gender linguistic research in order to make gender analyses more proper and effective and, consequently, to achieve new and fruitful research results. In this context, my paper can be considered as a form of appeal to Russian gender linguists to question critically the predominant androcentrism in language. In the future, discourses need to be shaped in a different manner and possibilities must be provided to guarantee a diversity of gender and identity in society as well as in language. Using the example of the entity “woman” or, accordingly, of the visibility of women in language, I will point out that one cannot reduce (her) visibility in its narrow sense to be visible for the eyes’, because visibility can also relate to cognitive structures, perception, and gender construction. In the following, I will not provide any suggestions for concrete linguistic solutions. Rather it is my aim to examine different linguistic subdisciplines in order to demonstrate that they influence the visibility of women in language and, moreover, to illustrate their impact in the existence, the perception and the construction of women in communication.
