Grammatical gender and gender identity development: Cross cultural and cross lingual implications.

Cross-Cultural Study of Gender Socialization in New Zealand and Iran

In this cross-cultural study, we primarily aim to present research-based evidence to examine the main gender characteristics associated with socialization. Using the symbolic interaction theory and the socialization theory, this cross-cultuural analysis particularly explores the construction and representation of gender identity through educational systems. The fields of this stu...

Cross-Cultural and Cross-Lingual Ontology Engineering

Just as internationalization [i18n] and localization [L10n] do not simply consist of translation of interface components, but also of careful cross-cultural and cross-functional considerations to the cultural sensitivities of the intended source and target languages, similar considerations should be given to those issues in the realization of Semantic Web systems. Specifically, this paper descr...

Cross-lingual syntactic variation over age and gender

Most computational sociolinguistics studies have focused on phonological and lexical variation. We present the first large-scale study of syntactic variation among demographic groups (age and gender) across several languages. We harvest data from online user-review sites and parse it with universal dependencies. We show that several age and gender-specific variations hold across languages, for ...

Culture, Gender, Identity, and Adolescents' Niche-Building Behavior: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

Cross-gender identity in transvestites and male transsexuals.

A self-theory of transvestism and secondary transsexuality in which gender identity is a major self subsystem has been advanced in previous research. Within this framework transsexuals and transvestites were compared on a number of developmental characteristics. While early-onset transsexuals (n = 103) were dominantly female, both late-onset transsexuals (n = 52) and transvestites (n = 36) show...
