Abstract
Analysis of texts of different epochs done within the frameworks of French female studies has actualized the topic of authorship that has always been primarily a male topic. The existing discourses demonstrated a millennium-long male tradition (philosophical, literary, etc.). Retrospective research of linguistic discussions in post-structuralist science and key ideas of the theoreticians dealing with female studies enables us to make some prospective conclusions. It is not the language but rather a discourse (as a process of producing knowl- edge, ideas, etc.) that is a playing a key role in the formation of human experience, provides an opportunity for the person to create his/her own identity, as well as unique and special “Self”. Male and female discourses appear under the influence of language and society: changes in one field result in changes in the other. Certainly men and women have different linguistic representative contexts that can be debated, but nowadays it is important for them to have equal subject positions in these contexts and discourses. Therefore, under current conditions discourse and its psychological language should be intentionally used to achieve higher cultural maturity, greater level of tolerance between gender subjects. One of the most well-known gender-linked researches in communication is the work of D. Tannen (1990). The author analyses miscommunication between men and women and explains them by different requirements set by society to men and women, as well as specific issues of socialization in childhood and teenage years, when communication takes place mainly in single-gender groups. Under the influence of these factors men and women develop different behavioral motives, different strategies and tactics of communication. As a rule, verbal behavior of men is aimed at achieving and maintaining independence and high status. At the same time women are expected to avoid conflicts, be compliant and emotional. Of great interest is gender research in professional communication. B. Baron’s research (1996) of gender issues in professional communication has shown that men and women tend to use different styles of polemics. Men are less likely to accept criticism, tend to use irony more often, refer to authorities, they do not tend to use those verbal means that show lack of confidence. Thus, they produce an impression of more competent experts and specialists. Modern scientific literature does not give a clear answer to the question what can hap- pen to speech, how it can influence the information perception efficiency (in particular, the quality of education). We live in the epoch of the Internet, in times of distant learning. There can be several factors that influence the process of information perception – gender factor, educational, speech (communicative). Theoretical analysis done by О. Horoshko (2008) has shown that gender peculiarities in the Internet-communication can be partially explained by a digital gap in the access to high technologies and their use by men and women. Comparison of computer communication acceptance by men and women has shown that women evaluate this communication in a more positive way and with more details than men. For women potential opportunities of this communication, which are related to creation of a certain image, also are more significant. Both men and women pay attention to the peculiarities of this communication related to the gender of the interlocutor. Analysis of the results of psychological surveys (О. Horoshko, 2008) has shown that it is necessary to intensify the research in this field. Understanding and perception of computer communication gender peculiarities happens not only at the level of academic discourse but also at the level of everyday consciousness. These differences are understood by the com- municants themselves at the level of their everyday communication in the Internet, that can be used in future to organize academic process by means of Internet-technologies.
