“…lists the discursive resources according to the occurrences (indicated by line numbers from each of the extracts) that are found in all three extracts. Following the number of occurrences, an analytical diagram has been provided (Figure I) to demonstrate how and in what ways the use of thesediscursive resources in the form of micro level analysis is leading to the macro level analysis.10 There have other explorations into how language or even silences can impact gender identity amongst peers (see amongst others Barua 2016a; Barua 2016b;,Barua 2017and Barua 2018/ 2020). …”

Language and linguistics are critical for exploring the ways in which society tends to perpetuate discrimination against women. The primary concern of this study is to analyze how female respondents understand oppressive patriarchal practices that they encounter in real life and how their language reflects their own orientation to their vulnerable position. In particular, it seeks to discover how language, as deeply embedded in the social construction of reality, helps women to mitigate patriarchal assumptions and practices thereby establishing a more egalitarian social standing. This study analyzes three narratives by female respondents from different socio-economic strata and occupations. The experiences they describe range from dress codes at work to reproductive rights and vulnerability associated with being in the public sphere. Their life experiences capture various facets of oppression including cultural imperialism, powerlessness and exploitation, but the way they use language to navigate this oppression helps with resurrecting feminine identity. The data for this study has been collected from 3 female Hindi/Assamese respondents (aged between early twenties to mid-forties for a representative sample of issues faced by women in adult life). The study uses a discourse analysis framework within a qualitative approach to explore women's lived experiences both the private and the public sphere. The analysis shows that women's resurrection of their social standing is made possible by their use of language, which can mitigate their vulnerabilities thereby redefining their identities in more positive light.
