Sukamta, MA %T REPRESENTASI PEREMPUAN DALAM BAHASA ARAB (PERSPEKTIF FEMINISME ATAS RELASI GENDER DAN BAHASA) %X It is not merely about gender as a grammatical phenomenon when discussing this subject matter in connection to language. More than that, in it there are profound meanings that are far more deeply related to the relationship between men and women. That is because language, as a result of human representation, is not neutral or value-free, but contains certain assumptions about objects that are abstracted, resulting in certain values in the language itself, whether individual, social, cultural, or political. The relationship between the two in the context of Arabic has its own uniqueness because this language not only is cultural in nature but also has a religious style so that the nuances of religion are involved in coloring relations between both sexes. Therefore, the most fundamental question is how women are imaged in this language and how these images are compared with men‟s. To get these images, the feminism approach to language is used because it generally tries to provide an analysis of the conditions that shape women‟s lives. In addition, it explores cultural understandings of what is meant by being a woman. Based on this approach, findings reveal that the image of women can be summed up in two ways. First, women are the branches while men are the origin. The position as a branch means that women come from men. Second, women are considered as imperfect humans, while men are in the opposite. Imperfections of women are because their sense is not on the same level as men. It is below men‟s but above animals and plants or other objects. For this reason, women cannot and must not represent themselves when they come together with the more perfect, that is, men. %K Relasi Laki-Laki Dan Perempuan—Gender Dan Bahasa—Bahasa Seksi %D 2019 %I UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA %L digilib51837
