Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1.7, , course: M.Ed. Linguistics: Pragmatics - 4039, language: English, abstract: The field of pragmatics in terms of language and gender is an interesting one to do research about. There is earlier work on the topic which shows diverse differences between how men and women communicate individually. We see in series, television shows, scripted movies and such, in what ways language can be predictable by knowing how women and men work when they take part in homogenous or heterogeneous conversations. Several writers, like Penelope Brown stated in her work, that women seem to speak in a more polite way than men do, which might have something to do with their social status.
