Abstract
Some of the most frequently referred to but potentially erroneous stereotypes regarding gendered speaking style differences involve dichotomies. men are competitive - women are cooperative. men focus on impersonal topics - women focus on personal topics. men's speech is to report - women's speech is for rapport. The problem with these stereotypes is that language styles are not mutually exclusive to individual genders. Much of the past language and gender research has been based on analyzing these perceived dichotomies in an effort to challenge or corroborate the stereotypes. This research has shown that language styles are not exclusive to gender and more importantly it has brought to light the fact that language and gender cannot be studied in isolation from other social factors.
