Summary/Abstract: Language plays an important role in creating the gender. Women and men are constantly constructing their identities by means of their discourse which imposes a linguistic style. There is some research exploring how women, in particular, may enact and negotiate femininity. We have chosen to analyse the feminine discourse in “Pride and Prejudice” because Jane Austen made a lot of efforts to react against the patriarchal values of eighteenth century
