This talk will address language, gender, and news media in Mainland China. The primary purpose is to examine how gender representations vary with the choice of different gender terms and across various time periods. It will showcase the integration of text mining into critical discourse studies, providing a corpus-assisted discourse analysis of gender representations in Mainland China’s news media. This analysis is expected to shed light on the dynamic relationships between language, gender, and social change in Mainland China.
