Abstract：

This article reviews research concerning the relationship between language and gender. The first half reviews the general trends and findings of language and gender studies over the past 30 years. The second half focuses on studies that have investigated language and gender phenomena in Taiwan. The review shows that the number of studies that have drawn on local data is still rather limited. Although local studies have revealed diversity and unique contributions to the field of language and gender studies in general, room for future development still remains.

Keywords：review, gender, language, Taiwan
