gender differences in language
Definition(s)
- Despite research studies repeatedly suggesting that the language used by women is largely similar to the language used by men, much attention is nonetheless paid to gender differences in language. To be certain, masculine and feminine speaking styles have been firmly established, but the distinction between the two categories continues to blur as males and females expand their vocabularies to include the words, expressions, styles, and topics of conversation once reserved for the opposite sex.
