This book seeks to establish if a dictionary user’s exposure to sexist views transmitted by older dictionaries of English is as significant as previous research suggests. To achieve this aim, the book examines examples of use the user has processed: a data-collection method that has not been applied before.
Have dictionaries of English indeed affected their users'' predisposition towards women to such an extent that we can posit a causal relation between what they propose and some of the forms of occupational sexism that still exist? Applying a data-collection methodology that has not been previously resorted to in any studies into the portrayal of women in these dictionaries challenges such a claim: the real exposure to sexist content is actually smaller than previous work is suggesting.
