Women’s Language or Powerless Language:A Study of Couples’ Talk

The purpose of this essay is to study whether the linguistic behaviour of adult women using hedging and tags as indicative of an intrinsically tentative gender identity or of the effects of male dominant position through analyzing daily conversations of the heterosexual couples.The small scale study employs the methodology,namely,recording spontaneous and natural spoken conversation from authentic interaction with the permission of the ten male-female couples.Digital record pen with an omnidirectional microphone are placed in the central living area of each couple’s home.Then discourse analysis provides data making it possible to support Fishman’s claim that women use tag questions and ’you know’ not because women are not being really sure of themselves,or are looking to the addressee for confirmation,but because men in a dominant position often refuse to take responsibility for the smooth conduct of interpersonal relations,women use tag questions and ’you know’ to elicit and maintain conversations.

中国见闻小访

Name:Savio (gentleman) Years in China:5 years 1.What surprised you the most during your stay in China? Definitely the thing that surprised me most when I came to China the first time was to see how many people you could find in the same place.Since in my home country I was living in a small village,it was very difficult to get used to being always surrounded by so many people. Another one was to realize how "cold" Chinese people are while they greet each other.In my country,every time we meet someone,we would shake hands quite strongly,give hugs and even exchange kisses regardless if we know each other for long time or not.Here in China all those things are not common at all.Sometimes I have to control myself in order to avoid embarrassing Chinese people around me.     

如何让老板成为你的朋友

Don't be a doormat"Remember that politics does not mean sucking up to the boss. You will find "yes" people in every organisation. The world is full of suck-ups who tell people exactly what they want to hear. Some managers love to be surrounded by people who tell them they are right even if they aren't. Don't agree just to be agreeable or because of your boss's title. This does you, your boss and your company a great disservice. If you have a better way of doing something or an opposite opinion, present it. Don't allow yourself to be walked on.

以默想的方式练习口语(英语)

The title is contradictory but it holds water. We, English teachers or students, are all used to the common saying about oral English training: to practise in and out of class with your teachers and fellow students, to make dialogues or conversations according to some made-up situations, or to communicate with foreigners or English-speaking people (including those who know English as well as you). I think, these are certainly good ways to go.
