Use four of Tannen’s video constructs of gendered conversational (listed below with definition) style to analyze your conversation with others, or your careful observations of conversations that you were present for. Tannen’s constructs cover men’s, women’s and/or LGBTQ+ communication but the styles of “masculine” “feminine” and “androgynous” can be used by anyone – what are the expectations and messages about gender and/or sex roles and how do they show up in conversation? You may apply the constructs to one person’s verbal behavior/style or contrast the behaviors of two people. Give enough detail regarding the situation(s) so that your application of constructs to “real” language use makes sense to someone who wasn’t there! You may compare and contrast gendered language between cultures if you have observed or lived it. It is perfectly fine to use First person writing to tell your story. Don’t forget to use bold font for the construct terms!
The terms:
public vs private talk: Tannen explains this as the
tendency for women to talk more in private, while men prefer detail-filled speech in public.
status and connection: describes this as the tendency for males to care more about status in conversations, whereas
women tend to care more about connection
rapper vs report talk: females engage in “rapport-talk” — a communication style meant to promote social affiliation and emotional connection, while men engage in “report-talk” — a style focused on exchanging information with little emotional import.
cooperative overlap: a listener talking along with a speaker not in order to interrupt but to show enthusiastic listenership and participation.
