imitating a female sarcastically or was a home sexual or an interior decorator. People might ask why fine discrimination of color is relevant for females, but not for males. A clue is contained in
the why many males in our society view other “unworldly” topics, like high culture, as the outside the world of male‟s work, relegated to female and male whose masculinity is not
questionable. Males tend to relegate to females are not expected to make decisions on important matters, such as what kind of job to hold, they are relegated the non-crucial decisions as a sop.
Deciding whether to name a color lavender or mauve is one such sop. Example: 53 magenta, aquamarine.
1.3.2.6 The use of intensive adverbs, like „so‟ and „just‟
The use of this adverb is more frequent in females than male‟s language, though certainly males can use it. It is attempted to hedge on one‟s strong feelings, as though to say: I feel
strongly about this- but I dare not make it clear how strong. To say “I like him very much” would
be to say precisely that we like him to great extent. To say “I like him so much” weasels on the intensity: again, a device that you‟d use if you felt in unseemly to show you had strong emotions,
or to make strong assertions, but felt you had to say something along those lines anyway. The intensifier just belongs to emphasize class and so belongs to amplifier booster class Quirk
Greenbaum, 1990: 214 Example: 54 I just like him.
1.3.2.7 The use of hypercorrect grammar
Females are not supposed to talk rough. Lakoff stated that females are viewed as being the preservers of literacy and culture, where literacy and culture are viewed as being the
somewhat suspect in a male. In cultures where is values for itself, men are apt to be the guardians of culture and the preservers of grammar.
Example: 55 I have been studying Architecture for three years.
1.3.2.8 The use of superpolite form
Females are supposed to speak more politely than males. Females are experts at euphemism, more positively; females are the repositories of tact and know the right things to say
to other people. Female are supposed to be particularly careful to say “please” and “thank you” and to uphold the other social conventions, certainly a female who fails at these task is apt to be
in more trouble than a male who does so. Example: 56 Would you mind to teach me, please ?
1.3.2.9 The avoidance of strong swear words
The difference between using “shit” or “damn”, or one of many others as opposed to “oh dear”, or “goodness,: or “oh fudge” lies in how forcefully one says how ones feels perhaps,
one might say, choice is a particle is a function of how strongly one allows oneself to feel about something, so that the strength of the particle.
Allowing males stronger mean of expression than are open to females further reinforces males‟ position of strength in the real world: for surely we listen with more attention the more
strongly and forcefully someone express opinions and a speaker unable- for whatever reason- to be forceful in stating his views is much less likely to be taken seriously. Ability to use strong
particles like “shit” and “hell” is, of course, only incidental to the inequity that exists rather than
its cause. But once again, apparently accidental linguistic usage suggests that females are denied equality partially for linguistic reasons, and that an examination of language points up precisely
an area in which inequity exists. Example: 57 oh my goodness.
1.3.2.10 The use of emphatic stress
