  Language is the most important means of communication among human beings, which has been always the focus of attention. Many philosophers have studied language. A group of linguists consider language as a system of meanings and many others consider that as a set of conventional signs. Sociolinguistic theorists as well as the Feminist critics specifically the post-modern feminists such as “Sarah Mills” have offered theories on the linguistic features of the works of women and their differences with the works of men; By so doing, they emphasized the issue that gender, race and class differences etc. impact the method of language use. In the present research, we first investigate the theories of feminist criticism and then we refer to the linguistic theory of Sarah Mills and analyze the latter theory in the novels of Belgheis Soleimani at three lexical, syntactic and discourse levels. The results of the research show that the language of the characters of her novel are significantly influenced by the author’s gender and that the author has been successful in creating a language commensurate with the gender of the characters of her novel. This paper was prepared based on analytic-descriptive method. Manuscript profile

  This study focuses on feminine style which is noticed by researchers regarding the increasing number of female writers in the contemporary era. The names of Robin Lakoff and Sarah Mills are distinguished among the theorists of this field, due to the presentation of practical models. Lakoff enumerates some features of feminine language emphasizing the linguistic differences between men and women, and Mills considers three levels of vocabulary, sentences and discourse in the linguistic analysis of feminine works. The methodology of the current research is discourse analysis based on the integration of Lakoff and Mills' theories on four levels: 1. lexical 2. syntactic 3. rhetorical 4. Discourse. The purpose of the study is to find the characteristics of feminine style in The Bride written by Faridah Farjam who was the first Iranian female playwriter. The findings of the research indicate that the author used feminine linguistics in vocabulary, syntax, and rhetoric at the discourse level, to challenge male culture and assert women’s rights, and develop their personality and awareness. Also, the influence of the author’s gender on the tone of the text is another component for confirming the theoretical models. Manuscript profile
