For example a woman would use the word "mauve" where as a man would just use the word "purple" (49).]]> 2017-05-09 14:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170769646 3100371 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170769788 Women use words like "please" that are more polite. "Women's speech is devised to prevent the expression of strong statements" (57).]]> 2017-05-09 14:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170769788 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170771472 adorable

While there are exceptions, women rarely use profanity while in public (50)

Women are taught at a young age to be more polite (expected to be "little ladies"). "'Little Ladies' don't scream as vociferously as little boys, and are chastised more severely when throwing tantrums or showing temper (51)."  ]]> 2017-05-09 14:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170775328 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776296 The way women speak is not just "feminine" it is just an example to show that women are not as involved as men are. So, men can't always say the "feminine" words because they fear they might seem "out of power" (53).]]> 2017-05-09 14:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776296 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776328 I thought it was a very interesting point to bring up how forceful someone expresses their feelings relates to their gender status.]]> 2017-05-09 14:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776328 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776364 If a woman is a working professional, she is obligated to only use man's language, as she will be ridiculed if she uses woman's language.]]> 2017-05-09 14:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776364 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776430 Not only does there seem to be a certain dialect that women are restricted to, they are also restricted on what they can talk about. The traditional role of a woman was to be uninvolved and unimportant to the world, and what topics they can have conversations about reflect it. Things like differentiating between different shades of a color and gossip are among these.

"The war in Vietnam is terrible, isn't it?" (55).  This shows that females did not have strong views about such political topics. When they did, it almost seemed that they went against the social standards put in place by men.]]> 2017-05-09 14:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170776998 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777005 There is an appropriate time to use "women's language." In a serious situation or if you feel strongly on a topic you would not say oh dear, you would most likely use a more harsh word to show how you were feeling.]]> 2017-05-09 14:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777005 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777108 Women say things as an attempt to seek acceptance and conformation. They think that if the way they talk is biased towards a more positive or predictive answer, the more educated and confident she seems. This differs from men, because they typically speak with a more commanding speech pattern. They are straight forward, using statements more often than questions. For example, while a woman might ask, "Will you please close the door?" a man would say, "Close the door." In this case, the woman is more polite than the man. However, men have always been favored, or in possession of more power. As a result, the lesser group, aka the women, are adopting the mans language.]]> 2017-05-09 14:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777108 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777256 The personal identity of women thus is linguistically submerged; the
language works against treatment of women, as serious persons with
individual views. (45)

The author suggests that the language instituted by society fails to provide women an avenue to express strong emotions.

So, women want to be able to speak like them to make them seem equal still in speech patterns like saying the curse words that men do. The women want to show the men that they can be equal, but since the men have no where to go but down if they talk like women, they can only talk the way that men are costumed to talk. ]]> 2017-05-09 14:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777690 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777713 When men use women's dialect they are viewed homosexual, as seen in the example with the colors. Women have begun to use men's language but it's unlikely men will use women's because of the judgement they receive. ]]> 2017-05-09 14:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777713 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777724 If a man were to talk like a woman, it would be assumed that he is either mocking her or a homo sexual.]]> 2017-05-09 14:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777724 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777977 Women will make a statement and then add a question after it, turning the entire statement into a question. This "tag-question formation" is used by women more often than men and is used when the speaker is, "stating a claim, but lacks full confidence in the truth of that claim" (54).]]> 2017-05-09 14:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170777977 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/og0thvh87xdl/wish/170778067 Women are seen as speaking more politely because they do not force their opinions or beliefs on other people. For example when a woman makes a request for someone to close a door she says "Won't you please close the door?" Men would say "Close the door." Because they usually don't care as much about being polite.
