I think the dynamic approach is the best to apply as it does not set the constraints or a standard for men or female to speak in a certain way. It helps us to understand the changes in their way of speaking under different context too.

I agree that the dynamic approach is a better way to view language and gender as there are many variables to affect one gender to speak in that way. For example, when a female has to present in a formal occasion, she would speak differently when compared to the way she speaks with her children.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dynamic approach is the best to apply. It allows the changes of characters between feminine and masculine. It also allows the shift of the expectation towards men and women. That suits the fast-changing society.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the dynamic approach is a better way to view language and gender in society nowadays. The use of language can be varies from age to power. This approach is applicable nowadays since it takes those factor into account.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that gender is a social construct. We are not born with stereotyping female and male. For example, in some patriarchal societies, people might expect male to work. Girls are taught to play dolls, boys play toy cars. Gender is changeable that it differs from various culture, beliefs and education.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that dynamic model is the best. Of course there are fundamental differences between men and women. But there are more factors affecting one's expression and his/her use of language, for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that gender is a social construct and I think that men and women are born different naturally. This is why we behave differently and gradually construct gender roles for ourselves. I think it is possible for gender to be changeable since the society is more accepting. Both men and women can perform each other's roles now.

# data[].attributes.body
To some extent, I agree that gender is socially constructed. What it means to be a 'woman' or 'man' changes over time, and even varies among different places or cultures. Different culture may expect different degree of femininity to be found on women. However, I believe that such social norms or stereotypes are in fact exaggeration of some biological characteristics that naturally shown on different genders.

# data[].attributes.body
The dynamic model is the best to apply. Because gender is not a static concept, it is something that is performed by speakers. There are many factors that may influence people's speech style, such as ages, situations and so on. This model doesn't restrain people's gender performance and it is more flexible.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the students above. I also think that the dynamic approach is the best because it does not suggest a explicit line to separate men and women. Instead, it suggests different aspects for people to flexibly describe one's gender.

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree that dynamic approach is a better way to view both genders nowadays in the society. It is because it considers different aspects during the analysis of linguistic features of a male or female speaker. So while a female speaks confidently in front of the public, it does not mean that she is demonstrating masculinity. Therefore, I think dynamic approach is applicable.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think dominance model is applicable in today's society. Dominance model suggests that men play a dominant role in a speech in order to illustrate their power and maintain their social statues. However, gender equality are strongly promoted in Hong Kong, men are no longer having a higher position than women in the social hierarchy. Therefore, to a small extent,  I do think dominance model applies in the context in Hong Kong. While in other highly-civilised countries, this model is not applicable as the idea of gender equality is widely advocated.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it does. Dynamic approach is applicable in today's society as there is no clear boundary between two genders. I think it is better to describe one's gender in terms of tendency since people nowadays are rarely either feminist or masculine. For example, a female teacher can demonstrate her leadership and strength in front of her students, which tends to be masculine. However, she could also be a wife at home who shows her tender and consideration to her husband. In this situation, I think gender is changeable according to people’s position in the society. Therefore, dynamic approach is suitable to explain the gender’s phenomenon in today’s society.

# data[].attributes.body
Dynamic approach for sure. It shows the flexibility and fluidity in describing one’s gender. In this paradigm, gender is something that people do rather than something that people have. In this sense, gender is something dynamic and changing. Therefore, dynamic approach is the best to explain today’s gender situation in Hong Kong.

# data[].attributes.body

Yes, the dynamic approach provide a better way to view language and gender nowadays. Both men and women have more than one role in the society. This approach help us to understand that people use language differently to fit the expectations of a specific role. It is no longer the time that men a absolutely dominant while women are subordinate.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Gender is a feature of nurture, not nature. Genders' behaviour are highly influenced by the social norms or expectation. For example, many Chinese people think "boys don't cry". If a male cries, people will consider he is weak and not masculine enough. The male will be teased by people. This prove that gender behaviour are to a large extent shaped by the social perception.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree that gender is social construct. Every time when people speak, it is unavoidable to be affected by the social factors such as age and power. I think people decide what to include in the speech and how to deliver it according the social expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
All in all, I think the dynamic model would be the best among all as it is more flexible and it is more applicable in our current society.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think this approach is a better way to view language and gender in society nowadays because our society keeps changing so as we do. We should not uphold an outdated mindset to apply in our current society.

# data[].attributes.body
I think gender is a social construct. They way how we perceive a gender is based on the education, social media, parents and our surrounded environment. As mentioned in the lecture, when we search for boys' toy, it would be mainly related to heroes or robots. When searching for girls' toys, it would be princess, dress. These are all shaped by our society, the way how we place them as a gender-related object.

I think gender is changeable if we can are willing to be more open-minded. Take the management level as an example, most of the posts are occupied by men mainly, while females usually worked as a subordinate role, even though they have the same qualifications. We should break the glass ceiling to eliminate the gender bias towards both sexes, and to create an inclusive society, where men and women can be treated equally and fairly.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think gender is socially constructed and it can change over time. For example, same-sex marriage isn’t allowed long time ago because people think men are supposed to love women and vice-versa. But now, this constraint no longer applies.

# data[].attributes.body
Like most of the classmates, I think dynamic approach is the best to apply. Because neither the dominance nor the difference theories allow for the diverse nature of gender. Nowadays gender can no longer be viewed as binary. This shift relates not just to theoretical changes but must be linked to social changes as gender is no longer seen only as only male/female constructed.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do think that dynamic approach better fits in today's society.  Instead of categorizing speech into a natural gendered category, the dynamic nature and multiple factors of an interaction help a socially appropriate gendered construct.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do think gender is a social construct. For example the expectations that a boy must wear a blue and girl must wear pink. There is nothing in our biological make up that suggest that a male and female must do certain things or suggest the characteristics of women and men - such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men.The expectation of society varies from society to society and can be changed. It denotes the traits each culture or society excepts from it’s predefined roles; males and females.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree that gender is a social construct as people's gender are generally influenced by the surroundings before they can actually establish their own gender identity. When I was small, parents or teachers would try to cultivate children by telling them girls have to behave politely or boys shouldn't cry. These influences from the social context would construct their gender.

I think gender is a social construct. Genders speak and act differently are affected by the expectations of the society. People see themselves as male or female based on many other social factors such as their background and environment around them, but not only the biological factor. The ways that our social media depict genders differently is an example which affects the perceptions of people towards male and female.

# data[].attributes.body
I think gender is socially constructed. I think gender is determined by people's perception. So I think gender is changeable. For example, we can not judge someone's personality only by his/ her biological sex. Although someone thinks that while we perceive someone as a male or a female by stereotyping others, I think this also explains that gender is socially constructed.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe gender is social constructed because how people see gender are based on stereotype.  For example, in TV drama, doctors are often performed by actor while nurses are often performed by actress, so people believe that girl tends to be a nurse and boy tends to be a doctor. As a result, when you are in a hospital, you tend to call a male in uniform a doctor, but actually he might be a nurse.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dynamic approach is the best to apply. Because it allows people to choose freely as masculine or feminine. It does not constrain them

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the dynamic approach is to best to apply on nowadays' situation.  Comparing to the other three models, dynamic approach suits present conditions of male and female, which male and female are having more equal rights and status in the society.  They no longer differ in terms of cultures, childhood, superior or inferior position in most of the cases.  Therefore, these factors should not be the most influential factors or concerns to people's use of language.  It is reasonable to say other factors such as age, social distance or context as the dynamic approach proposed become the high-ranking elements that alter one's language and gender.

# data[].attributes.body
Gender is not a social construct. It is

# data[].attributes.body
Not certainly, gender is also heavily determined by biology. Certain gender attributes, such as females spending more time taking care of young children than their male counterparts, are observed across all human cultures and even other species. It would thus be difficult to argue that this is somehow a 'social construct'. It is rather a gender role assigned by biology.

# data[].attributes.headline
This only represents half of the picture. We also have to consider why some people have failed to be 'constructed' by the society and remains firm females and soft males. Biological factors certainly plays a role, such as hormones. They affect people's choice on gender. One example is that when hormones started to decline around 50 years old, females tend to become more masculine while males more feminine, and this fact also affects language construct.

I do think that dynamic approach is the best since it is not dividing differences in just two groups but trying to observe various factors. People nor language are one dimensional. It is very important for us to take all the factors into consideration. If we just focus  on difference between men and women, this might cause another stereotype against them.

# data[].attributes.body
I surely think that viewing language in dynamic approach is better since there are variety of differences in language, not just men and women. Dividing men and women's talk to me is somewhat meaningless and causing more argument. There are various factors that cause difference in talking and sex is just a small part. By viewing difference in wider spectrum will lead respecting diverse way of communication, not just dividing in to two groups: men and women.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that gender is a social construct. However, I am still not sure if the hormones are one of the factors that differentiate the gender. I believe that women and men are same and can be same but it is the social stereotype which separate men and women, defining their characteristic. However in some what way, women can give birth, and there are biological difference and I cannot say that hormones do not affect gender at all. I cannot give clear answer to both of second and third question.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree that gender is social constructed. Affected by the cultural norms in the society, parents usually shape their children with the stereotyped gender roles according to the sex. Therefore, when our critical thinking is not developed yet, we are educated to perform our gender roles constructed by the society.

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes, it does. Because the dynamic approach allows more autonomy for people to behave properly in certain contexts regardless of their gender.

Yes, I think gender is social constructed. Compared to sex which is assigned when we were born, gender is constructed by our experiences. For example, the education experience can impact children's behaviours, girls are taught to behave gracefully and boys are allowed to be active to a larger degree, therefore, it is common for  girls to play with Barbies quietly and boys to run around with toy cars.

Dude, the question should be, 'Is the approach a better way to view language and gender?'

I think dynamic approach is not a better way to view language and gender. People get serious when they deal with a serious matter. A woman talks in a more assertive way whenever she needs. But that does not mean she is more masculine or 'manly'.

The dynamic approach is the best the apply. The other three models have their own defects. The deficit model fails to explain women who speaks with minimal linguistic weakness, especially for female linguistics professors. The dominance model fails to explain why some caring males tend to be dominated by  firm females such as when a male christian patient visit a female doctor. The difference model fail to explain how some females who sees the society as a hierarchy of social order climb the social ladder by pretending to be weak and getting as much resources as possible using certain feminine language features.

I think both the psycholinguistic approach, in explaining how biology affects different language characteristics among gender, and the social constructionist approach, in explaining how social acts affect the learning of language characteristics upon observation, each explains half of the language reality we sees  now in terms of gender difference. There is no "better" way but the latter can be deemed as an "easier" way to explain such a phenomenon without relevant scientific background.
