The desire to affirm that women and men are completely equal has made some scholars reluctant to show
ways in which they are different, because differences
between two groups of people have so often been used
to justify unequal treatment and opportunity. Much
as I understand and am in sympathy with those who
wish there were no differences between women and
men only reparable social injustice my research
on styles of conversation tells me that, at least in this
area, it simply isnt so. I believe that there are gender
differences in ways of speaking, and we need to identify
and understand them. Without such understanding, we
are doomed to blame others or ourselves or our own
relationships for the otherwise mystifying and damaging effects of our contrasting conversational styles.
It is clear to me that recognizing gender differences
in conversational styles would free individuals from
the burden of an inappropriate sense of being at fault
for chronic disagreements. Many women and men feel
dissatisfied with their close relationshipswith spouses,
siblings, parents and become even more frustrated
when they try to talk things out. Taking a sociolinguistic
approach to such troubling encounters makes it possible
to explain these dissatisfactions without accusing anyone
of being wrong and without blaming or discarding
the relationship.
The sociolinguistic approach I take in my work is based
on my belief that many frictions arise because, here in the
United States, boys and girls grow up in what are essentially different cultures, so that talk between women and
men is actually cross-cultural communication. For little
boys, talk is primarily a means of making statements of
achievement through games like bragging contests. This
may also be done by exhibiting knowledge or skill and by
holding center stage through such verbal performance as
storytelling, joking, or imparting information. Little girls
appear to be eager to share and compare interests and ideas.
Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences. For them, the language of conversation
is primarily a language of rapport: a way of establishing
connection and negotiating relationships. So this view of
childrens behavior predicts that more women than men
will be comfortable speaking one-on-one, to individuals.
And even when addressing an audience, women may be
more concerned than men with establishing rapport.
