Men and Women Communicate in a Different Way

The communication patters of men and women have numerous differences. Currently, the scientific evidence suggests that men and women indeed use different communication styles. Men and women have different sets of rules of verbal interaction, use different grammatical and lexical methods; therefore, in some sense, they form two different communication communities. Modern science takes a keen interest in the social conditioning of language and communication. While studying the influence of social characteristics on communication, gender must be taken into account. Gender differences in communication are caused to a certain extent by both inborn psychological characteristics corresponding to sex and the influence of society. Focusing on the differences between male and female models of communication, this paper aims to analyze the article entitled “Are Different Patterns of Communication in Women and Men Innately Determined?” published in the book Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Gender by J. White.
