This research aims to elucidate Lakoff’s Women’s Language theory and explore the presence of its components in the play Kurosh Kabir by Pari Sāberi. Through a descriptive-analytical approach, the main focus is on identifying and analyzing women’s language components, as outlined in Lakoff’s model, within the context of the play. The significance of this study lies in delving into the gender linguistics theory of Lakoff and the literary merit of Kurosh Kabir. The research investigates the presence of women’s language indicators in the work, guided by Lakoff model. It hypothesizes that the play contains a substantial number of women’s language components worth investigating. The evaluation of the play occurs on three levels: linguistic (lexical and syntactic), literary, and intellectual. Despite the limited number of female characters (4 female characters compared to 29 male characters), the dialogue of these few women exhibit several women’s language components. The overall language of the play is also influenced by the female playwright’s language style, showcasing distinct feminine features. Moreover, these feminine features are also noticeable in the language of male characters, accentuated by the choir serving as narrators. Their role in depicting dramatic scenes further enriches the portrayal of Kurosh Kabir by Sāberi with prominent women’s language components. Notable features include the use of intensifiers, word repetition, prayer sentences, poetic language, and a significance emphasis on body language throughout the work.

The present study is an investigation in sociolinguistics, aimed to study linguistic differences in certainty in the speech of Kalhori Kurdish (one of the basic west-south speeches, common in west of Iran) speakers. One of the related outstanding approaches in gender linguistics, is Lakoff’s Dominance Approach (1975, 2004), in which 9 linguistic features are introduced to entitle women’s speech as “powerless speech”. Lakoff believes that it occurs because of some social inequalities. According to her, the speech and writing of women and men seem to be different in using rising intonation in declarative sentences, exact color terms, empty adjectives, hyperpolite forms, weak qualifiers, fillers, indirect requests, tag questions and emphatic stress. The present study tries to show if the mentioned approach can be confirmed in Kurdish community or not. For this purpose, based on field research and using questionnaire, 8 different social groups, including thirty two women and thirty two men were interviewed in two different age and educational groups. The findings of this investigation shows that women are more likely than men to use the linguistic variables of powerless speech. Therefore, the Dominance Approach was confirmed in this study.

Feminists discuss God's gender, female students keep silent in religious classes in Canada, Tourette syndrome patients exhibit uncontrollable swearing, and participants in American religious associations discuss God, parents, gender, and eroticism. At first glance, these topics seem unrelated, but in this book, Allyson Jule attempts to portray a picture of the intersection where language, gender, and religion meet. Some of the topics appearing in these articles are fundamental to our understanding of gender and language: The importance of power in the asymmetry of gendered language; the use of language in individuals' gender identities; the importance of local language and gender analysis in communities; gender differences in language teaching; and the interaction of discourses about gender and sexuality. This book broadens our understanding of such issues and introduces religion as a new perspective through which linguistic issues can be dealt with.

Gender linguistics is a cynosure branch within the framework of language sociology and it deals with the effect that gender¡ as a variable¡ has on the creation of lingual diversities. Because a great many of the social-cultural concepts¡ including gender¡ are multifaceted¡ one-dimensional and absolute perceptions of such concepts lead to some sort of superficiality¡ particularly in research areas. The present article¡ firstly¡ deals with the presentation of the notions opined by two prominent figures of the field¡ namely Robin Lakoff¡ 1975 and Deborah Tannen¡ 1990. Then¡ it is attempted¡ through a probe into the most recent studies carried out in the years from 2008 to 2016¡ to elaborate more on this study field. The results of the study are indicative of the idea that the Applied Linguistics researchers are more interested than the other. In the survey of gender effect and its role in language¡ this effect has been¡ especially¡ evaluated regarding the second language learning¡ but this field of study is found with numerous shortcomings¡ the most important of which is the negligence of the propounded gender-related theories.
