Toward Gender-Inclusive Coreference Resolution (2019, background): “acterizations that postulate a direct mapping from language to gender (Lakoff, 1975; Silverstein, 1979).”
Social Bias Frames: Reasoning about Social and Power Implications of Language (2019, methodology): “We base our initial frame design on social science literature of pragmatics (Lakoff, 1973; de Marneffe et al., 2012) and impoliteness (Kasper, 1990; Gabriel, 1998; Dynel, 2015; Vonasch and Baumeister, 2017).”
Multi-Dimensional Gender Bias Classification (2020, background): “It’s well known that we change how we speak about others depending on who they are (Hymes, 1974; Rickford and McNair-Knox, 1994), and what their gender identity is (Lakoff, 1973; Eckert and McConnell-Ginet, 1992).”
DExperts: Decoding-Time Controlled Text Generation with Experts and Anti-Experts (2021, background): “Note that while obtaining an LM that is truly free from social biases is impossible (Fiske, 1993; Lakoff, 1973), the “non-toxic” expert serves the purpose of modeling the same domain of comments as the toxic anti-expert, providing more effective contrast.”
PowerTransformer: Unsupervised Controllable Revision for Biased Language Correction (2020, background): “Narratives and news texts often reﬂect societal biases and stereotypes, such as the traditional gender role that women are passive and submissive (Lakoff, 1973; Fiske, 1993; Fast et al., 2016).”
When being different is detrimental: Solo status and the performance of women and racial minorities (2002, background): “, weakening the strength of a statement by using phrases such as “sort of” or “maybe”) when interacting with men (Carli, 1990; Lakoff, 1973).”
First Women, Second Sex: Gender Bias in Wikipedia (2015, background): “At large-scale, Hecht and Gergle [24] measured self-focus bias [24], which studies the relation of the language of a specific Wikipedia and its related cultures.”
Women Are More Likely Than Men to Use Tentative Language, Aren’t They? A Meta-Analysis Testing for Gender Differences and Moderators (2011, methodology): “In a widely cited monograph originally published in Language in Society, Lakoff (1973) proposed that gender differences in communication are explained by the different roles that men and women hold in society.”
Gender Attribution: Tracing Stylometric Evidence Beyond Topic and Genre (2011, background): “The work of Lakoff (1973) initiated the research on women’s language, where ten basic characteristics of women’s language were listed.”
Unsupervised Discovery of Gendered Language through Latent-Variable Modeling (2019, background): “Word choice is strongly influenced by gender— both that of the speaker and that of the referent (Lakoff, 1973).”
Australian English‐language textbooks: the gender issues (2009, background): “Through discussion and debate fuelled by the feminist movement in western countries which started in the 1970s, with pioneers including Lakoff (1975), Miller and Swift (1976), and Kramer, Thorne, and Henley (1978), the representation of women and men in language became a topic of wide public…”
On-the-Fly Controlled Text Generation with Experts and Anti-Experts (2021, methodology): “We do not employ a separate (positive) expert here, because obtaining an LM that is free from social biases and toxicity is infeasible since naturally occurring language itself reﬂects social biases and inequality (Fiske, 1993; Lakoff, 1973).”
