- W2300403750 abstract "The purpose of this essay is to find and analyze the discrepancies between women and men when it comes to the use of general extenders. The questions that this essay attempts to answer are: Is there any significant difference in the amount of general extenders used by women and men? What specific types of general extenders do women and men use more frequently? For what purpose do women and men use general extenders in discourse? And, what are the most frequent functions these expressions perform in female and male speech? Since previous studies have not shown any significant difference between the amounts of general extenders used by women and men and have not really studied the functions women and men tend to use these questions are yet to be answered. The data in the essay have been collected from the British National Corpus (BNC) and the occurrences are of spoken language. The occurrences from the BNC were then compared and calculated with the help of log-likelihood tests to determine if there were any significant differences. In addition to the log-likelihood tests, I have also attempted to annotate a sub-sample of occurrences from the corpus for their discursive functions. Overall, the data show that general extenders are more frequently used by women, with some exceptions for specific general extenders. The general extenders range from several different discursive functions (e.g. hedges on the Grice’s Maxims and politeness strategies). For or something, the process of annotation displays an increased use of hedges on the maxim of quality and negative politeness strategy in the occurrences uttered by women. The occurrences of and so on show that positive politeness strategy was more frequently used by men than women. In conclusion, the functions of general extender in discourse are complicated to determine. If one follow the results presented in this essay, it seems as though women are more likely to cooperate in communication. Since they seem to want adhere to the wants of the hearer’s negative face and their use of hedges on the Maxim of Quality this cooperation is evident." @default.
