Abstract
This thesis explores the relationship between language and gender, focusing on linguistic gender biases illustrated in English idioms and proverbs. This paper looks at the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, social categorisation, linguistic biases, and sexist language to see how these perpetuate gender stereotypes. The gendered connotations of idiomatic phrases such as "man up," "wear the pants," "cry like a girl," "boys don't cry," "she's one of the boys," and "behind every great man is a great woman" are discussed. A mixed-method approach, which includes both quantitative and qualitative data from university students, demonstrates a high degree of awareness about the sexist connotations of these idioms and the potential harm they do. The findings highlight the relevance of educational initiatives in fostering gender-inclusive language.
