The relevant framework of analysis will encompass the theory of dominance, the theory of difference and performativeness theory. The current situation in Montenegro regarding the subject matter of our investigation somewhat reflects the chronology of the research in these categories and the historical order of their appearance. There is strong evidence to support the main postulates of the theory of dominance (Lakoff 1974) primarily expressed in terms of the markedness of the female member contrasted with the unmarkedness of the male. Also, the gender non-parallelism present in the public and private spheres finds fertile soil in the Montenegrin mentality, behaviour and overall cultural script of pronounced patriarchality. Perhaps the theory of difference would be nominally the best theory to describe the gender situation in Montenegro in both its aspects: difference as unintentional dominance (Tannen 1990) and "different" in the meaning of "worse" when applied to women. At the same time,performativeness theory (Butler 1990, 1997), which takes the stand that gender means acting and doing, not just being, would be very suitable for grasping the various manifestations of gender identity. All the while, irrespective of these theories, the media exert their inexorable influence in maintaining the traditional role of the woman (and men), albeit with some new vocabularyČlanek proučuje medsebojno povezanost spola in jezika ter spola in identitete.Ustrezen okvir proučevanja bo obsegal teorijo nadvlade, teorijo razlik in teorijo performativnosti. Sedanji položaj predmeta proučevanja v Črni Gori do neke mere odseva kronologijo raziskovanja teh kategorij in zgodovinsko zaporedje njihovega pojavljanja. Trdni dokazi gredo v prid glavnim postavkam teorije nadvlade (Lakof 1974), ki se izraža predvsem v označenosti (ženske) članice v nasprotju z neoznačenostjo (moškega) člana. Obenem je spolni ne-paralelizem, prisoten v javni in zasebni sferi, našel plodna tla v črnogorski mentaliteti, vedenju in splošni kulturi izrazite patriarhalnosti. Najbrž bi bila teorija razlike nominalno najboljša teorija zaopisovanje položaja spola v Črni Gori: razlika kot nenamerna nadvlada (Tannen 1990) in "različen" v pomenu "slabši", ko se le-ta nanaša na žensko. Hkrati bi bila teorija performativnosti (Butler 1990, 1997), ki zavzema stališče, da spol pomeni vedenje in delovanje, ne zgolj obstajanje, zelo primerna za razumevanje različnih pojavljanj identitete spolov. Ne glede na vse teorije pa mediji močno vplivajo na ohranjanje tradicionalne vloge ženske (in moškega), čeprav z novim besednjakomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
