Scope and content
This is a sound recording of a Maritime Noon on CBC radio broadcast that focuses on the changes in vocabulary and the development of gender neutral terms. They have two professors as guests Donna Smith and Dr. George “Burpee” Hallett speaking on language while they take calls on whether non-sexist language is important to the audience. Some callers are against the change because they find it silly and then men should be stronger to combat the movement. One man is extremely opposed to changes as he finds feminists silly and easily offended. Further callers things non-sexist language is good for representation and also making it clear what people mean when speaking, for instance with girl vs. woman. Dr. Hallett provides insights into language, history, and meaning around gendered words. Dr. Hallett speaks on terms such as lady and gentleman. The professors and host continue to discuss the difficulty of the changes in the English language. Carolyn Gammon joins the show to discuss her fight for her Mistress degree [00:33:52]. Carlolyn brings up how gender neutrality does not necessarily to gender equality. They continue to discuss the nuances of language. The last caller discusses the how language is mostly derogatory to women (i.e. swear words). The second half of the tape [00:39:59] splices two interviews with Carolyn on her fight for the mistress degree including a reprise of the earlier conversation. [Pause at 00:39:53 between side A and side B.]
