Gender's Use of Language


Hello class,

In response to the question “Do you agree that men and women use language differently in specific areas?” I do agree both sexes use language differently. You can tell when engaging is conversations with males and females the difference in tone masculinity and femininity. When hold a conversation with another male they tend to up them selves subliminally. They try not to make the boost in ego very open and obvious, but they do it in a way that if you do no think about it long enough you will not catch what they said. Usually, most men are always trying to dominate one another in some sort. Whether it’s talking tough to get a point across or simply trying to show that one is more masculine than the other. Most of the time when men discuss topics they usually get into arguments or altercations.

When women become into the discussion of use of language, females tend to use language less masculine. When talking to a female I discovered that most of the time they just want someone to listen to them. When I engage in a personal conversation with a female they are more relaxed and just want to talk about anything that comes to the mind. When women discuss things with other women they usually talked about another female such as gossiping or trying to belittle another female.
