  • Gender and Language: Evaluate the idea that women talk too much
    • Not that women talk too much- just more than men
    • Depnednt on who theyre with/the context of the conversation/mode of the conversation
      • Deborah Cameron (2007) argues theres very few differences between the way that men and women talk and its the situation that affects the way people talk more than gender (disagreeing with the idea)
        • Man and woman talking about an interest of his, the man will talk more because of his interest in the subject
          • Jennifer Coates (1993) Women and Men talk about different things
            • Jennifer Coats (1996) Men prefer to take turns at being the expert. Women are more personal (disagreeing with original theory, main point and the idea)
      • Man and woman talking about an interest of his, the man will talk more because of his interest in the subject

    • Stereotypical view that women gossip more than men which mkaes the utterances last longer
      • Context: "Gossip Girl" - the popular Tv show using the stereotypical view that it was a girl that spreads the gossip when in fact it was a male
      • Transcription of data - Female speakers on males answering machine (speaker 2) takling about something outside of workplace
        • Longer utterances, with less pauses on average. Longest recorded converse
