本文试图揭示以情景喜剧《大老板》（AlKabeer Awy）为代表的埃及喜剧电视连续剧中的性别歧视。通过对四集（13个场景）的定性和定量分析，该研究调查了这部情景喜剧中语言被操纵和用来贬低女性的方式。本文采用女性主义批评性话语分析的理论框架，运用了三种分析工具；即，词汇选择和标题，及物性和搭配。数据显示，在被分析的（13）个场景中，男主角Al-Kabeer对女主角Hadeyya使用的大部分名字和称谓都是贬损性的或直接的侮辱。研究还表明，这种侮辱被用作幽默的来源。此外，与Hadeyya相关的词汇搭配在很大程度上是负面的。分析还显示，她只在性属性方面受到称赞。研究表明，在电视尤其是情景喜剧中，这种类型的女性表现和语言上的性别歧视不能被看作是幽默的良性来源，它实际上为性别不平等和男性霸权的意识形态提供了肥沃的土壤
This paper attempts to shed light on sexism in Egyptian comic T.V. series as represented in the sitcom AlKabeer Awy (The Big Boss). Through employing a qualitativeand quantitative analysis of four episodes (13 scenes), the study investigates the way language is manipulated and used to disparage women in this sitcom. Adopting the theoretical framework of feminist CDA, this paper employs three tools of analysis; namely, lexical choices and titles, transitivity, and collocations. The data showed that in the (13) scenes subject to analysis, the majority of names and titles used by Al-Kabeer, the main male character, to address Hadeyya, the main female character, were either disparaging words or direct insults. It was also shown that such insults were used as a source of humor. Moreover, lexical collocations used in association with Hadeyya were shown to be largely negative. The analysis also revealed that she was only praised in terms of sexual attributes. The study shows that such type of women representation and linguistic sexism in T.V. in general, and sitcoms in particular, cannot be regarded as benign source of humor but it can actually provide a fertile soil to grow ideologies of gender inequality and masculine hegemony
