THE PURPOSE OF THE
DISSERTATION
In this dissertation I tried to examine the differences that
occur in a verbal interaction whose participants are men
and women.
The purpose was to develop the way in which these gender
patterns influence the speech of a gender representative
when occuring a verbal interaction.

each other or change each other.

CS3 ANALYSIS
Apologies uttered by a man
Short answers coming from the woman
Great amount of questions asked by the man
Loss of temper due to the unefficientcommunication between the two participants
Speaking of apologies, men use it rarelycompared to women, and do not understand thatwomen need more time to accept the apologies,
and misinterpret the short answers uttered bywomen such as uh-huh as a refusal, whichmakes them furious.

Mens speech serves to lecture,
argue, debate, and command.
Men do not feel comfortable when
they get too many questions, they
react by closing down emotionally.

Women goals are giving emotionalsupport, creating boundaries,discussing experiences, while mens
goal is the exchange of information.Women interrupt to show concern, butthey think men disrupt the discussionby shifting the subject. Men do try tocontrol the conversation by disruptingit.

male and female speech, but this

situations when a woman may uttersomething which is considered to
belong to a male speech and vice
versa.
