Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:Based on Lillian’s(2008) and Chen’s (2016) studies on women’scourtesytitles, thisstudy makes a comparison and contrast of women’s courtesy titles in mainland China and Taiwan, with reference to those in the Whites and Blacks. It is based on a survey of a questionnaire, which is almost the same as the one used in Chen (2016) that was modelled on the one used in Lillian (2008). The results confirmed that age is an influentialfactorintheselection ofcourtesytitles forwomenofdifferent maritalstatus. It also confirmed Lillian’s observation that a woman’s occupational status may outweigh her maritalstatus. However, even mainland China and Taiwan belong to the same Chinese community, they have statistically significant difference in women’s courtesy titles, especially in the use of XJ (Miss). Its fill-in-the-blank method of collecting women’s courtesy titles, rather than fixed-choices method, also seems to be effective. Keywords: women’s courtesy titles, Chinese, gender-related onomastics.
