“…The complexity of language cannot be used to generalize genders (Abudarhman, 2017). The use of language features may be affected by valuesideology, culture and personality from the language users (Hosseini & Tammimy, 2016;Abdurahman, 2017). Personal factors may affect the use of language features.…”

<em>This research aims to study the use of basic and specific color terms used in men’s and women’s magazines. The use of specific color terms was proposed by Lakoff (1973). The specific and basic color terms may distinguish the gender of the writers in the magazines. The study analyzed women’s writings in Cosmopolitan Magazine published electronically by https://www.cosmopolitan.com/ and men’s writings in GQ Magazine published electronically by https://www.gq.com/. The data was analyzed using Lakoff’s (1975) and Steinvall’s (2002) theoretical frameworks. Lakoff (1973) argued that women used language features differently. One of the language features stated by Lakoff (1973) was the use of specific color terms. The findings of the research show that there has been a change of specific color term usages, both genders are now using basic and specific color terms. However, men use less specific color terms. The use of language features may be affected by values – ideology, culture and personality from the language users.</em>

“…Some other studies have examined the differences in syntactical and lexical aspects between genders in written texts (Argamon et al, 2003;Llach 2010;Baker 2014). Other several studies have also inspected how gender influences the process of sentence and discourse production (Tannen 1994;Newman et al 2008;Abdurrahman 2017).…”

“…While female and male speakers use language differently depending on the listeners and the speech community in a larger context, it can be expected that fewer conversation cues will be involved in formal written texts (Argamon et al 2003). Abdurrahman (2017) argues that particular language properties largely employed within a text can reveal the gender of the author. In addition to the studies of sentence and discourse production process, differences in various linguistic features have as well been examined such as the aspects of phonological and pragmatic (e.g., Labov 1990;Su & Chang 2019), syntax (e.g., Lakoff 1975Ishikawa 2015;Kramer 2016), andphonology andpronunciation (e.g., Moyer 2016;Kim et al 2016).…”

“…In a non-formal setting, the tendency of using particular language features such as pronouns is easier to be discovered. For example, the results of the study by Abdurrahman (2017) where he investigated different language choices between men and women on Twitter proved that among the kinds of personal pronouns, first-person singular devices (I and me) are used mostly by women. This reflects the fact that women try to be 'involved'.…”

“…Meanwhile, the first-person plural (we and us) were found more in men's texts which underlines how men tend to distance themselves by using more generic pronouns. However, in an Leksema: Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra academic writing context, it seems to be a common agreement that the use of pronouns is depended upon the discipline it was written (Abdurrahman 2017).…”
