Abstract

Language as a sign contains elements outside the language, i.e. culture, thought, ethnic behavior of the language owner. The patriarchal culture of Indonesian society is also represented in Bahasa Indonesia. This paper aims to explain the representation of gender inequality in Indonesian words. For that reason, the exploration and analysis of Indonesian vocabulary in the literature and in oral communication activities are conducted. Based on data analysis, gender inequality is represented in Indonesian vocabulary in the form of (1) marginalization dignity of woman compared to man, (2) subordination of woman to a man, and (3) woman as professional marker.
