Do women talk more than men?Do men talk in the same way as women?According to the latest research from the United States of America,men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.Professor Deborah Tannen,of Georgetown University,has noticed differences in the style of boys’ and girls’ conversations from an early age.She says tha t little girls’ conversation is less definite than boys’ and expresses more doub ts.Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.
These differences continue into adult life,she says.In public conversations men talk most and interrupt other speakers more.In private conversations,men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style.Profess or Tannen believes that,for women,private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲密).For men,private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.
