dc.description.abstract | The work contains a linguistic analysis of automotive portals which are examples of hobbyists
websites. The linguistic material was drawn from general automotive portals and portals
intended for women. The examples are not uniform as far as their form is concerned –
they originate from various links of web portals, therefore they are represented by various
genres of expression and their quality varies. The source of description constitutes above
all articles, statements of users expressed in fora, tests of cars and opinions thereof, pieces
of advice, interviews, editorials and commentaries. The two main research perspectives
involve gender linguistics and sociolinguistics. The selection of the research perspective was
determined by the peculiar nature of the material – the content and the purpose of portals
distinctly determined the methods of description. The main problems associated with the
theoretical and methodological contexts are presented in the first part of the work. The context
of internet communication enabled the author to introduce the concept of cybergender
i.e. the gender which functions on the Internet. The second chapter contains a description
of the material. This chapter presents general information about automotive portals (against
the background of internet websites of hobbyists) and the webpages which are analysed in
the work. The description also involves the genre field of the automotive portal.
The subsequent two parts of the monograph, divided according to the research perspectives,
constitute an analytical part. The dominant area of analysis as far as genre linguistics
is concerned has to do with the linguistic values which are ascribed to women and
men and the possibilities of transcending these values i.e. most frequently the occurrence
of a given property in a representative of the opposite sex. The two most common shifts in
this respect has to do with the emotionality and expressiveness of the language of men and
the expertise and professionalism of the language of women. One of the important aspects
of research turned out to be the category of the stereotype associated with the beliefs about
a given gender. In this respect one of the more important points has to do with the pejorative
image of the woman driver which consists of a number of elements which inform
about the poor abilities of the fair sex in the area of driving a vehicle. The components
of this stereotype include e.g. difficulties in parking a vehicle, confusion of the left/right
directions, insufficient driving speed, careless manoeuvres, enhancement of one’s makeup
and holding a telephone conversation while driving a vehicle. The prevalence of opinions
which negatively qualify women drivers is testimony of the permanence of gender stereotypes
associated with motorisation.
The group of users of automotive portals was treated as a social group and the vocabulary
which is peculiar to this group appears to be an element of a sociolect. In the part which
is devoted to the sociolinguistic level the most important lexical and semantic fields in the
context of the automotive sociolect were distinguished. Among the groups which were analysed we may mention e.g.: terms which refer to cars and motorcycles, brands and models of
vehicles, vocabulary associated with using a vehicle, the elements of a car or a motorcycle,
the professions associated with motorisation. Taking into consideration the grammatical
context determined the most productive means of expressing: diminutives and terms of
endearment, neologisms, neosemanticisms or borrowings. The thematic areas which are
presented determine the areas of interest and communication of the portal users, and they
also indicate the sources of automotive vocabulary. The expressivity of many forms is testimony
of the role of motorisation in the lives of users and of the emotional relationship
between a vehicle and its owner, which is expressed also by animisation and anthropomorphisation
of cars and motorcycles. The research which was conducted revealed a complex
area of vocabulary associated with motorisation and the variety of linguistic means which
occur in the said sociolect.
The analysis of selected automotive portals emphasised the basic problems which are
crucial from the perspective of car- and motorcycle-related themes, and the aspects which
are frequently mentioned on the aforementioned websites. The division into general portals
and women-oriented portals was the reason for the sharper distinction of the category of
gender and gender-related stereotypes. The female profiling of the sender and the receiver
is testimony to the existence of automotive themes in the lives of women and of the fact that
women engage these themes from a female perspective which emphasises elements which
are crucial for them (e.g. maternity or beauty). Women-oriented portals are also a field of
struggle with stereotypes and the means of popularising automotive knowledge among the
representatives of the female sex.
However, many examples prove that there is only one gender in the world of cars and
motorcycles – the gender of a good driver.
The complexity and the variety of themes determined the choice of crucial problems,
motivated by an attempt at creating a wide spectrum of problems associated with web hobbysts
portals associated with motorisation. | pl_PL |
