ABSTRACT

Through literature review, the current study explored on gender roles for human language acquisition and learning, particularly second language acquisition, and on the formation of gender-specific language behaviors throughout human history. For this purpose, children’s first language (L1) development and afterward adults’ second language (L2) learning were investigated from the perspective of sociolinguistics. In the light of both anthropological and second language acquisition (SLA) studies, research suggested that cognitive differences between males and females may not stem exclusively from inherently natural and static neurolinguistic preferential networks, but the socialization process undergone by L2 male and female learners may play a much stronger role in the shaping of cognitive networks than what has been previously admitted. Some pedagogical implications, regarding the use of learning strategy and the management of classroom interaction, were taken based on the current review paper.
