A Study Of Sexism In Mexico

A study of sexism in Mexico

This investigation will focus on analyzing one of the speeches, this given in February 2006, by the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox Quesada, who was in charge in the period from 2000 to 2006, emphasizing the syntactic and lexical structure,And how the oral production of these linguistic aspects affected women.

During the "change" government headed by Vicente Fox (2000-2006), the first speeches around March 8, Fox referred to women as mothers only, so it was so that the starting program stopped in life for life for life forRevert the deaths of the mothers, for what he said, his program attended "to the mothers and their children" so that they have more chance to get ahead. (Martínez: 2016).

Throughout the six -year period, President Fox used grammatical categories, which towards discriminatory use especially for women. That is why this investigation took to analyze syntactically and lexically.

The pragmatic use that former President Fox used during visits to rural or urban communities, where appropriate was always outside the words since when it came to going to indigenous peoples, the discriminatory use of linguistic sexism was made more present more presentthat when he gave a speech in Mexican cities.

In the same way, the present work will address everything that implies in the use of linguistic sexism, but delimiting the political factor in this case will be to analyze two of the speeches given by the former president of Mexico who was in charge in 2000 until the2006.

It is relevant that former President Vicente Fox, was one of the pioneers to use this issue that is at the same time discriminatory, misogyny and macho, giving a perspective in which Mexican society, in this case women and on the subjectof sexual identification. Likewise, the linguistics will be present since in order for this discourse to be analyzed, issues of grammatical, lexical and syntactic gender. These three branches are essential to be able to make an analysis of their two speeches given during their six -year period. In the same way, the investigation will address issues that at that time had event, such as, the affectation to women and the controversy that turned so important that the National Council to prevent discrimination (Conapred), had an intervention to thewhich was made to the former president to stop these speeches so out of context.

It is true that the human being makes the use of speeches in which the impact he may have in the future is little thought, but it is thought that he does it in two simple ways: to be more specific or clear with his ideas and the other iswith the intention of discriminating. Otherwise they both influence both the people who are involved, and cover emotional and society aspects.

In this way and in a discursive way a more specific inclusion of linguistic terms is the genus, the use of vocabulary and the formation of the structure. The first damages the person making her believe that it is necessaryTheir own lexicon, but these words will go in the cuela make a mockeThese terms a prayer and this goes in two ways, which can bring a two -way way or that even the speech can be saved from an attack by discriminating even if it has used an inappropriate lexicon.

On the other hand, the use of linguistic sexism can attract negative things not only for the person who performs it, but for the development of a society, but what factors influence these traits, it could be that it is transmitted from generation to generation.

As for Tomé (2001), he proposes that we know that when boys and girls arrive at school they are socialized in male and female genres;What the school does, either by action or omission, is to maintain, produce, reproduce and reinforce some gender stereotypes.

This investigation becomes a real and applied problem daily, despite leaving linguistically becausePerson is directed with an exclusive language that attacks women, the receiver that captures the message, in this case the speech makes a very fast analysis in their mind and classifies it, as a sexist, or discriminatory discourse, but most ofThe times never analyze the lexicon that is used.

On the other hand, there is the impact that the discourse has, the context in which it will be carried out by this must be taken into account, it is necessary to have a totally planned speech and with the specialized lexicon, it will not be the same to apply a speechSpeaking of technological avant -garde or activities where and very specific terms are included to give a discourse to a rural area which does not have the approach to these conditions such as those of the urban.

And it becomes a problem and it is necessary that if there is a speech applySomething socially has to do why women are still seeing as only an "object" the anyone can refer to them as a diminutive genre.

As if the speech is poorly applied and in the same way the discourse that was used in the rural area is taken, but this time it is applied to an urban area, the reaction is safe among the receptors and that is again if it was thoughtIn case any person in this case a ruler or some public servant uses linguistic sexism, what is certain is that in the first way it would be done as possible to take the position to that person for offending the woman and in the second one acontroversy this case.

That is why this research is vital, it makes an important relevance which says that it still exists in Mexico, due to two things: Spanish is a very macho language, with an extensive vocabulary, ethical culture, and socioeconomic featureswhich determine the role of this topic.

However, the two speeches that the investigation will focus on.
