论文摘要
关于性别联系语言的大量研究已经建立了有关词汇，情感和局部偏好及其社会学基础的跨性别差异的基础。我们汇编了一个新颖，大而多样的自发语言作品，用说话者的性别注释，并对男性和女性作者之间的使用中进行了首次大规模的经验研究。我们的分析表明，（1）惯用性选择反映了一般语言中特定性别特定的词汇和语义偏好，（2）男性和女性的惯用用法表现出比其字面语言更高的情感，而在男性和女性之间的差异则与其文字分析相比，在男性和女性之间的差异更加微妙，尽管可以检测到更细微的差异，但它是在其字面上的差异。用法环境中的差异，由跨性别沟通方式和语义偏见塑造。
A large body of research on gender-linked language has established foundations regarding cross-gender differences in lexical, emotional, and topical preferences, along with their sociological underpinnings. We compile a novel, large and diverse corpus of spontaneous linguistic productions annotated with speakers' gender, and perform a first large-scale empirical study of distinctions in the usage of \textit{figurative language} between male and female authors. Our analyses suggest that (1) idiomatic choices reflect gender-specific lexical and semantic preferences in general language, (2) men's and women's idiomatic usages express higher emotion than their literal language, with detectable, albeit more subtle, differences between male and female authors along the dimension of dominance compared to similar distinctions in their literal utterances, and (3) contextual analysis of idiomatic expressions reveals considerable differences, reflecting subtle divergences in usage environments, shaped by cross-gender communication styles and semantic biases.
