- W788692054 abstract "One of the most important developments in the recent history of the English language has been the widespread elimination of the sexist suffix -man and its replacement with the sex-neutral suffix -person 1. Words such as chairman, mailman, milkman, German, and Doberman have been increasingly replaced in common usage by such substitutes, respectively, as chairperson, mailperson, milk person, Gerperson 2, and Doberperson, in an attempt to minimize offensive sexual connotation. This phenomenon has spread so gen erally throughout the language that it is now possible to discern the beginnings of a new stage of development in which the sexist connotations of -person itself have been recognized and attempts made to deal with it. This suffix, after all, contains the gender biased syllable -son, which is certainly as deserving of replace ment as was -man. Some speakers began, for a time, to rep lace this syllable with -child, but this was soon recognized by the po litically sophisticated as being ageist, though whether it was anti youth or anti-elder was never defin iti ve 1y determined. Finally, offspring gained acceptance as a more appropriate substitute. We thus see such words as chairperoffspring, mailperoffspring, milk peroffspring. Gerperoffspring, and Doberperoffspring being used increasingly in the everyday vernacular, thereby entirely elimina ting offensive sexual connotation and making the language easier to use and more pleasant to the ear." @default.
