As a widespread social phenomenon, sexism has been gone through a long history in human society. Since language is regarded as a communicative tool, a mirror of the society and reflection of people ’s thinking and values, the sexual discrimination is inevitably reflected in language. As we all know that the sexism has brought about many negative influences, so everyone is committed to eliminating this phenomenon. On the basis of domestic and overseas studies about sexism, this thesis enumerates its definitions in different dictionaries and analyzes it from the formation, meaning and order of English words. What is more, as an important part in education, English teachers play a significant role in the development of students and help them to set up the equal awareness as well as use English appropriately, which is a great contribution to eliminate the sexual phenomenon.
