The purpose of this study is to reveal the existence of sexism hidden in the illustrative sentences in a modern Chinese dictionary. By analyzing the usage of male and female third personal pronouns appearing in the illustrative sentences, we found that a man and a woman tended to be depicted differently in stereotypical ways. Male third personal pronouns were used more frequently than female ones in the dictionary. Women were described negatively in the example sentences more often than men. In some examples, women were evaluated positively but only in a narrow range of criteria, such as in physical apprearance or personality.
