Gender-Marking in Language Affects Gender Equality in Law

Résumé

The findings suggest that languages with extensive gender marking might inherently support traditional gender roles, which are then mirrored in the legal provisions of national labor and family law. Authors do not, however, find an effect of gender marking in language on laws related to violence. This tends to indicate that while linguistic factors can influence certain legal frameworks, addressing violence against women requires a broader, more comprehensive approach. Legal reforms aimed at combating gender-based violence must go beyond linguistic adjustments to include tackling deeper societal, cultural, and institutional barriers.
