问题     The relationship between language and gender has long been of interest within
sociolinguistics and related disciplines. Early 20th century studies in linguistic
anthropology looked at differences between women’s and men’s speech through a【S1】______
range of languages, in many cases identified distinct female and male language【S2】______
forms.
    As a field, prompted by the blossoming "western" Women’s Movement,
language and gender really took off in the 1970s with a broad interest, particularly
from feminist researchers, in the potential for female dominance of mixed-gender【S3】______
talk(e. g. men interrupting women more often than vice versa): in the
identification of distinct female and male speaking styles(a common finding being
that women tended to use more supportive or cooperative speaking styles and men
more competitive styles): and in sexism, or sexist bias, in language. Research saw
women’s language use as deficient(relative to men’s)in various ways: the male
dominance position placed a greater emphasis on differences in power between【S4】______
female and male speakers: and the cultural difference position saw women’s and
men’s language use as ’ culturally’ different and not unequal. Women’s and men’s【S5】______
language use have also been interpreted in relation to politeness theory, with women【S6】______
seen as more linguistically polite to men.【S7】______
    More recently, and particularly in studies carried out since the early 1990s,
gender has been reconceptualised in a significant extent, influenced by【S8】______
contemporary theories associated with post-structuralism. Gender is seen as a less
"fixed" and unitary phenomenon, with studies emphasizing considerate diversity【S9】______
among female and male speakers: the shifting relationship between gender and other
aspects of identity: and the importance of context determining how people use【S10】______
language.
【S9】
选项
答案considerate一considerable
解析 词义错误。considerate意思是“考虑周全的，周到的”，而considerable意思是“相当大的”。根据句意，研究所强调的是男性和女性之间的巨大差别，故将considerate改为considerable。
