Language is a social phenomenon and reflects
the existing beliefs in a community. It is possible to discover the
institutionalized beliefs, orientations and ideologies through study of
language even in case of male and female relationships. This research attempts
to discuss the sexism or non-sexism of "Mukriani Kurdish" through
compilation of male and female adjectives as well as terms of address. To this
end, a number of widely used idioms, proverbs and terminologies were analyzed
from among 7000 words in two books of (Hedi, 1999) and (Fatahi Ghazi,1986). The
results showed that Mukriani Kurdish is sexist and application of sexist
language among individuals depends to a great extent on their gender, age,
occupation, qualification and social class. Moreover, failure of educated
individuals to use such language may be due to their lack of familiarity with
linguistic terms as a result of studying in a language other than native
language.
