In the article we show how the method of discourse analysis can be applied to examine pragmatic usage of the category of gender in English, its different connotative meanings. Unusual, not motivated and even illogical use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender is often accounted for by personification, "upgrading" or "downgrading". In English, the use of the personal pronouns HE and SHE with nouns denoting animals, plants or inanimate objects is more expressive than in Romanian. It attracts reader’s attention, creates a certain psychological effect and provides foregrounding. Although little attention is paid to the
category of gender in traditional grammars of English, pragmatic gender usage is an important aspect of linguistic awareness and language teaching or learning. |

Utilizarea neobişnuită, nemotivată şi chiar alogică a genului masculin, feminin sau neutru este adesea cauzată de personificare, de „trecerea într-o categorie mai înaltă” de obiecte sau fiinţe, sau de „coborârea într-o clasă mai joasă”. În limba engleză, folosirea pronumelor personale HE (el) şi SHE (ea) cu substantive care denotă animale, plante sau obiecte neînsufleţite este mai expresivă decât în limba română. Acest fapt atrage atenţia cititorului, creând un anumit efect psihologic. Deşi puţină atenţie este acordată categoriei de gen în gramaticile tradiţionale ale limbii engleze, întrebuinţarea pragmatică a genului este un aspect important al conştientizării lingvistice şi al predării sau studierii limbii engleze.</dc:description> <dc:source>Glotodidactica (2) 43-57</dc:source> <dc:subject>gendered pronouns</dc:subject> <dc:subject>animacy scale</dc:subject> <dc:subject>pragmatic functions</dc:subject> <dc:subject>upgrading</dc:subject> <dc:subject>personalizin</dc:subject> <dc:title>Discourse analysis of the pragmatic usage of the pronoun she referring to a cat </dc:title> <dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
