Characteristics of the reactions: Types of connotations
CONCLUSION
Applying an associative experiment, we have considered mental lexicon of males and females
and have identified gender peculiarities of the perception of the word “feminist”.
The associative field of the reactions obtained during the experiment is rich in content, diverse
in semantics and grammatical features. Word reactions in the answers of informants prevail over
word combinations.
Words-reactions of male respondents can be classified into following groups: Image,
qualities, social movement and place; female associations are divided into groups: Image, qualities,
social movement, place and details of personal appearance.
The most frequent associations in both groups of respondents are woman and equality.
Therefore, they belong to the core of the word “feminist”.
The peripheral zones of the word-stimuli according to the male and female associations are
not the same. Thus, analyzing males’ reactions we can notice – words with negative semantic
meaning (for instance, rude, aggressive, angry, ridiculous, hype, one perspective) prevail over
positive ones. Female reactions, on the contrary, mostly consist of words with positive and neutral
semantic meaning, while only one reaction to the word-stimuli is negative.
Moreover, quantity of words common for mental lexicon of both men and women is
extremely small: woman, girl, equality, movement, while other words-reactions belong to unique.
Based on the above information, we can summarize –the perception of the word “feminist” by
male and female respondents differs considerably.
