Abstract

Although the question of whether women and men speak differently is a topic of hot debate, an overview of the extent towhich empirical studies provide robust support for a relationship between sex/gender and language is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the current scoping review is to synthesize recent studies from various theoretical perspectives on the relationship between sex/gender and language use in spoken face-to-face dyadic interactions. Fifteen empirical studies were systematically selected for review, and were discussed according to four different theoretical perspectives and associated methodologies. More than thirty relevant linguistic variables were identified (e.g., interruptions and intensifiers). Overall, few robust differences between women and men in the use of linguistic variables were observed across contexts, although women seem to be more engaged in supportive turn-taking than men. Importantly, gender identity salience, institutionalized roles, and social and contextual factors such as interactional setting or conversational goal seem to play a key role in the relationship between speaker’s sex/gender and language used in spoken interaction.

在面对面的交流中,女性和男性使用语言的方式不同吗?范围审查
尽管女性和男性说话方式是否不同是一个热门话题,但缺乏对实证研究在多大程度上为性/性别与语言之间的关系提供有力支持的概述。因此,本综述的目的是综合最近从不同理论角度对面对面口语二元互动中性别/社会性别与语言使用关系的研究。本文系统地选取了15项实证研究进行综述,并根据四种不同的理论视角和相关方法进行了讨论。确定了30多个相关的语言变量(例如,中断和加强)。总的来说,在不同的语境中,女性和男性在语言变量的使用上几乎没有明显的差异,尽管女性似乎比男性更倾向于支持对方。重要的是,性别认同显著性、制度化角色以及社会和语境因素(如互动环境或会话目标)似乎在说话者的性别/性别与口语互动中使用的语言之间的关系中起着关键作用。

期刊介绍: Review of Communication Research will publish an annual volume with comprehensive and authoritative reviews of the current state of the main topics and the most significant developments in the field of Communication. These comprehensive critical reviews will summarize the latest advances in the field, but also will root out errors and will provoke intellectual discussions among scholars. The journal seeks both evaluative (theorical) and quantitative (meta-analysis) papers that make a state of the art of issues in scientific communication. Integrative review articles that connect different areas of research are of special interest.
