Men and
women do not speak exactly the same. There are certain cases where they
use these speech acts differently. Lakoff (1973) was the first linguist
to discuss that matter in her articles. Her arguments are dependent
mainly on "introspection". She noticed 6 features of the utterance of
women that are not found in the speech of men. These features that would
be discussed thoroughly in that research are lexical choice, question
intonation in statements, hedges, emphatic modifiers, intonational
emphasis, hypercorrect grammar, and pronunciation (Wolfson 176). Yet,
the researcher views these differences as more pedantry and making
things more complicated because they do not exist in the real world.
There is no such a thing as a separate language for men and another for
women. The researcher's view comes from watching modern movies and
finding out that men and women speak exactly the same. The cases in
which slight differences occur are so rare and not noticeable. However,
this hypothesis will be investigated in present research and is to be
approved or disapproved through the use of empirical methods.
