This paper examines the relationship between sex, gender and language as prevalent ideas in linguistics that started mainly in 20th century. It deals with understanding the particularities of the gender and sex on the grammatical level and how favouring one gender over another through language and grammar has a real-life consequence for women in society that range from the private to the professional sphere. It recognises that language shapes the perception of reality through evoking of Sapir – Whorf hypothesis and how negative stereotypes and biases are evoked through rampant sexism and discrimination directed at women. Through several studies provided it shows that personal perception of a person will vary depending on what kind of language is used to describe a person. Not only that it recognises how English language marks one gender over another and with it brings certain connotations that are mostly negative and have equally negative impact on how one gender will be perceived. This paper sheds light on the work of feminist linguists that have recognised androcentricity present in language through which can be seen that language is controlled and created by men and in turn decided to fight against the patriarchal oppression and set norms through proposing the usage of gender-neutral language. Through examples of studies and research provided in this paper it can be seen how various groups of people mark women and men with certain attributes that are based solely on their biases and perception. Negative stereotypes are mostly attributed to women and through them perpetuate sexism and sexist language. To conclude this paper deals with how negative ramifications of gendered language and its usage were dealt with and recognised in linguistics
