Transcript
Gender theory can be applied to the transcript in the following ways. Firstly Paula is seen to use non standard dialect whilst responding to Sir Alan “person ’ere”, which deviates the idea that women hyper correct themselves for overt prestige. This may be because she is talking to someone of the opposite gender, or of higher status.

Later on Ben gets involved in the conversation, and starts an argument against Paula in which Paula was defending herself by using emphasis on certain words to go against Ben’s view. “I DID delegate it”. The emphasis on “DID”  links to the idea of women being more emotional in conversations. As “DID” is seen as one of women’s stress words.  Shortly after this Ben replies with “… you got it very very wrong”. The use of the intensifiers “very” goes against Jepersons deficit theory in which women are known to use the intensifiers so and very more than men, but Ben is proving it’s opposite.

In the transcript near the end we see patterns of speech from Sir Alan, where he is talking for a far longer lengthy of time than any other person in the conversation. This can link to Fishman's theory that in mixed sex conversations men talk twice as long as women, however could it be the fact that men seem to dominate a conversation more than women like the Zimmerman and West theory suggests, or actually is it because Sir Alan is the boss which would link into the diversity model.

In the transcript Paula says 'bit of a thug' here she uses hedges and a colloquial term to be assertive in the conversation this goes against the difference theory. However Yasmina links into the into the difference model when she says 'listen guys, we're talking about this situation and managing this group of people all right. This is showing compromise which is in the difference model that women seek compromise. At the beginning of what Yasmina says she starts off with 'listen guys' this is informality and technically a command which goes against Lakoff and the deficit model that women use weak expletives or euphemism and avoid confrontational language.

Jesperson- mens language is more standard. Sir Alan uses more formal standard English in the beginning of the episode

# data[].attributes.body
as team leader, and through her interrupting others, paula show's that she's searching for dominance in the conversation - something that tannen said was the male focus of conversation.

Cameron - the gender template doesn’t fit everyone , all women aren’t the same , all men aren’t the same which is why Paula is using stereotypically mens linguistics features

Tv shows are often scripted or planned, so contestants or people on the show will be briefed before going on the show about how to act. Therefore it might not be an accurate representation of how they actually act

West’s theory- men ignore positional power, Ben isn’t professional when talking to Paula the project manager

# data[].attributes.body
Males tend to be more dominant, whilst women tend to be willing to talk less is proven in the text because SA has larger paragraphs, therefore he talks more than P does

# data[].attributes.body
Goodwins theory 2006- females now interrupt, challenge and argue, which goes against the traditional views of how a women should act

# data[].attributes.body

Try to add examples here folks

# data[].attributes.body
Paula called Ben an idiot and so it shows that women are not always polite and will confront situations
Which theoriest does this support/go against?

# data[].attributes.body
Paula states ‘Sir Alan’ a lot when she is talking to be formal and polite  etc however Sir Alan doesn’t use Paula’s name at all when addressing her
Try to add a theorist and explain why?

# data[].attributes.body
'I asked you to [I wanted you to' - paula interrupting, against idea displayed that women don't interrupt. links to lakoff's theory, saying that men interrupt more.
Coates- Assimilation

‘If you let me finish.. if you let me finish..’ shows dominance from the male towards the woman
It also suggests thaee idea that women shouldn’t overlap and interrupt the man no matter what status/ power he holds; even if it is lower than the woman
