In our opinion, when reading a text, we rely on social stereotypes that influence us when reading that text. We would like to find out (2) whether there are words or word combinations that can be misleading when reading, i.e. whether there is a male or female perspective in literature. A further aim of our research is to investigate (3) whether there is a difference between male and female readers\u2019 perceptions of a text, and (4) whether there is a difference between Hungarian majors\u2019 and non-Hungarian majors\u2019 perceptions of a text. The research was carried out at J. Selye University in Slovakia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
