ANALYSIS
“Language is a tool of human communication, will be day by day, and this need to
be effort of men and women. The establishment of women studies, initiates developed
from the sense of women's commonality as well as from the realization that women are
excluded from large part of public and academic."(Flotow,200, p.6). The most important
question here is, How Women and Men process and use language. They have the
same or they have the differences between using the languages.
The research entitled “Gender Differences in using Language gave the answer on
the question Upper parts. According to the study, Men and Women are so many
different in terms of using language. First, The Pronunciation. According to Shuy(1969),
he said that "Women Pronunciation is better than Men, like pronouncing of "-ing"". And
also he found that 62.2℅ of men pronounced "-ing" in a wrong way but only 28.9℅ of
women didn't pronounced right. Second, The Intonation. Women are very emotional of
what they say or tone of voice, Scientist says that they use the high pitch voice because
of physiological reason and the voice of women also associate with "timidity" and
"emotional instability". According to Lakof(1975), most of the woman using a Rising
Intonation that shows the gentleness but this intonation shows a lack of confidence. As
a contrary, a Men use a falling intonation to show that they are quite sure of what they
saying". Third, The Differences in Vocabulary. This differences notice that men and
women tend to choose different word to show their feeling. It has a five aspect: A. Color
words- women use a good or color words to describe something than man B. Adjective-
women many use adjective like adorable, charming, lovely and etc. but men using a
simple word like good C. Adverb-Like on the adjective women tends to use awfully,
pretty, terribly, vastly and such but men like to use very, utterly, belly D. Swear words
and Expletives- women avoid the swear words and dirty words like "damn, fuck you,
hell" and using "oh dear, my God" and men using the swear words like Shit! The train is
late again E. Diminutives- women use word that have meaning of small such as bookie,
panties etc. but if man says that he has a psychological problem, men also using the
slang preferences. F. Pronouns- women's use first person to suggest something while
men are use second person. Fourth, The Difference in Syntax. Both gender having a
difference in almost in every language. A. Modulation- women other thing consideration,
she use the words "well, you know, I think and etc.” B. Interrogative Sentence-women
use this sentence to continuing a good conversation. According to Lakoff (1975),
women tend to this because they not sure about themselves and their opinion than
men. C. Imperative this one men's are used a lot of imperative than girls (also used the
let's patterns), girls prefer this sentence with modal verb such as can, could, may. D.
Correctness of grammar-women pay more attention to the correctness of syntax. While
expressing her thoughts, she would make her utterance clear by using precise
grammar. Fifth, Different in their Attitude toward Language. Women pay attention using
standard language than man, they stricter to use the language. Sixth, Nonverbal
Differences. They are patience when they talk, they wait the other conversation until
he's/she's free.
REPLEKSYON
Similarly, Chomsky frequent use the terms language faculty and mental organ
underscore his belief that language is distinct from other cognitive abilities, and
therefore distinct from the abilities of species that share those abilities but lack ability to
acquire language.
It would surprising indeed if we were to find that the principle governing phenomena are
operative in lother cognitive system, although there might be certain loose analogies
perhaps in terms of figure and ground of properties of memory, as we see when the
relevant priciple s are made explicit it( Chomsky, 1980, p.44). Pinaliwanag nila
Chomsky at HCF na ang lenggwahe ng tao ay natutunan at nagsisimula basebon the
cognitive abilities.
