- W98841388 abstract "This study examined the complimenting behavior of men and women in the United States by collecting a corpus of 90 compliment behaviors from television programs, ethnographic observation, and the author. It also explored the relationship between sociolinguistic research and teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) in general and complimenting behavior and TESOL in specific. Results of the complimenting behavior study showed that women use compliments to each other significantly more often than they do to men or men to each other. Women also use a syntactic form that strengthens the positive force of the compliment significantly more often than men do, whereas men use a form that attenuates or hedges on compliment force significantly more often than women do. A review of six TESOL textbooks that emphasize communicative competence found that most textbook passages and dialogues focused on compliment exchanges between equals, and that most compliments concerned appearance, ability, or possessions. It was discovered that women received more compliments than men, that women gave more compliments than men, and that women of higher status received more compliments than men of higher status. A sample lesson plan on compliment behavior for TESOL classes is also included.

Bolton Georgetown University INTRODUCTION Janet Holmes did a study in New Zealand that examined differences in the way men and women use compliments. Inspired by Holmes' work, I am here attempting, in the first section of this paper, to replicate the study on a smaller scale with data on the complimenting behavior of men and women in the United States. Holmes hypothesizes that compliments may function differently in women's and men's interactions. Overall, my data reveals that American men and women do have similar complimenting behavior to men and women in New Zealand. I also found three compliment response patterns that Holmes does not mention and these are also explored. In the second section, I briefly explore the relationship between sociolinguistic research and TESOL in general and complimenting behavior and TESOL in specific. Material from Nessa Wolfson's book Perspectives: Sociolinguistics and TESOL, and results of research done by Manes and Wolfson (1981), Wolfson (1983) , Manes (1983) , Holmes (1988) , and Bolton (this study) form the basis for this discussion. I evaluate six textbooks looking at syntactic form, status of complimenters, topic of compliment, gender differences in compliment exchanges compliments which incorporated into to see if the rules for using have been discovered in the research have been teaching materials. I give a sample lesson on I would like to thank Professor Ralph Fasold for his encouragement and computer assistance.
