Men are too modest, but we females give praise where its due, males have an equal claim on Feature no. 7 with females.

"Girl" talk Mon Sep 29, 2008 20:33 pm  "Girl" talk
 

Hello all

I am one of those who used to think America a cluttered platform of sky scrapers, a place where one could not see the sun. This really is not unusual here in my country. Almost all think the same, more precisely, almost all teens think the same.

Do you think Americans are a "hated nation"? I do not mean to offend but this is what i repeatedly hear in my part of the world. I know that common citizens are not to be blamed for what the government does but still the hatred is so deep rooted that even the foreign NGOs trying to help alleviate sufferings from our own country are mistrusted and stopped from promoting healthy activities. Why? Because they're from America.

Would you say these the findings based, on Lakoff's work,, are still the same today?

Quote:
The following ten features have been identified as "Women's Language" (based on: Lakoff 1975):

1. Hedges, e.g. sort of; kind of, I guess;

2. (Super) polite forms e.g. would you please...I'd really appreciate it if:..,

3. Tag questions;

4. Speaking in italics, e.g. emphatic so and very, intonational language;

5. Empty adjectives, e.g. charming, sweet, adorable;

6. Hypercorrect grammar and pronunciation;

7. Lack of a sense of humour e.g. poor at telling jokes;

8. Direct quotations, e.g. "Hannah said that he said...";

9. Special vocabulary, e.g. specialised colour terms like 'Dove grey';

10. Question intonation in declarative contexts
