Abstract Central to the way in which “womens language” is experienced in the Japanese everyday is a profound cognitive dissonance: The majority of women do not speak “womens language” and, yet, they recognize it as their own language. This article seeks to understand how metalinguistic devices—such as reported speech and quotation—and the intertextuality that they create serve both to produce and at the same time to normalize such dissonance, and thus womens language as language ideology. To make my point, I will focus on reported speech in interlingual translation, and its role in the reproduction of the idea of womens language.

Taking a cue from Gilles Deleuze’s notion of control societies, I will specifically focus on the fate of “Japanese women’s language,” or a set of speech forms exclusively associated with femaleness. This essay will ask what has happened to “women’s language” as the society shifts from disciplinary society (Foucault) to control society (Deleuze).
