The Linguistic Determinants of Gender Stereotypes in Jokes about Marriage

Summary/Abstract: In the article, two components which coexist and exert impact on one another have been juxtaposed. One is the cultural stereotype deeply embedded in the society; the other one is language. The author analyses examples which illustrate the influence of stereotypical models on the linguistic picture of both sexes in jokes about marriage and depict the way in which the authors of these humorous texts emphasise the differences between a man and a woman by means of some selected linguistic elements. Moreover, on the basis of the analysed material, the author delineates changes that, throughout thirty years, have taken place in the language of jokes.
