Gender and Language Analysis In this piece of coursework I will be investigating the difference between the way men and women talk. I have provided a transcript, which shows how a conversation is structured when a man and a women is speaking. As a backup to this investigation I have carried out research which involves further reading about different aspects in gender and language. This transcript has been taped in private; both characters are unaware of the recording. The conversation which is taped, takes place between a husband and wife. The speech is a mixture of topics and it is hard to identify the subject which they are talking about. The female (wife) initiates the topic and then is interrupted by the male (husband) this proves that the male has anticipated speaking. e.g.: B- Are you gonna take me ta [err A-[shoppin on Sat er day The participant has completed the speech using syntactic and semantic...

"Mmm, not quite sure what to make of that,the topic language and gender is such a diverse and wide topic, I'm surprised at how short this essay is! Also you need to pay more attention to detail snd accuracy. The author is actually called Jennifer Coates, never quote an authors name using short hand or a "nick name."You say you have provided a transcript, however you have not.You have either misused the term transcript or you are not quite sure what it means. The definition of a transcript is to transcribe a conversation as detailed and as accurately as possible whilst adding any grammatical elements which make it even more accurate. There is no evidence of this in your work.A poor piece of work to be Frank. Shantelle Hyatt/BAhons/MA/Phd"
