Question

1: Explain the two approaches that represent the different sides of the gender and language debate. (Fundamental differences and Minor differences)

2: Explain the idea of linguistic relativism.

Answer 1

The approaches that represent the different sides of gender and language are;-

we have to determine the various difference between the male and female like difference in the speech behaviour or time of talks and conversation. we check them all one by one.

Difference in men and women speech-- there are lot of differences between men and female vocabulary. there is a qestion about that who will talk more male or female?

according to study women talks 3 times more then men. but study also shown that men interuppt more then women in a conversation.

women uses more standard form then men.

women's speech less direct/assertive than men.

2- Linguistic relativism is a weaker form of linguistic determinism.but strong weak distinction over simplifies the more complicated picture that is emerging in recent research on the relationship between language and thought.
