This paper provides a focused overview and critique of Feminist Linguistics including Conversation Analysis(CA) based on discourse and gender identity. CA presupposes that the social world is a pervasively conversational one in which an overwhelming proportion of the world’s business is conducted through the medium of social interaction. CA, however, has some restrictions not to micro-analyze the exigencies of talk-in-interaction for gender identity. Feminist Poststructuralism Discourse Analysis(FPDA) with a ‘variable and effects’ analysis and interaction framework is an alternative means of describing, analysing and interpreting an aspect of spoken interaction overlooked by CA. FPDA can apply to a variety of settings where discourses interact with each other to construct unequal power relations within texts or talk, whether domestic, social, public or institutional by representing the complexities and ambiguities of female experience and by giving space to female voices that are being silenced and peripheralized by masculinised discourses.
