Language and Communication volume 10, number 3. The research contain about identified many of the features as characteristic of womens language, including hesitations, rising
intonation, tag question, hedges and intensifiers, are linguistic devices which may be used to express epistemic modality or degrees or certainty about a proposition. She mention that
speakers might use those devices when genuinely uncertain about the facts, or alternatively to
mitigate the force of an utterance for the sake of politeness. Therefore, she claimed that women tend to use such devices for a third reason, namely, to express themselves tentatively
without justification when the speaker is perfectly certain of the truth of the assertion, and theres no danger of offense, but the tag appears anyway as an apology for making an
assertion at all. With reliable data base of speech collected to explore the technique in which native
speakers of English express epistemic modality, she was examine Lakoffs claims about women language in at least some context. Moreover , she decide to explore in some detail
the distribution of a number of linguistic forms in womens and mens speech. In her paper, she showed that she found some summarize, there are: 1. Tag question. 2. Three pragmatic
particles usually regarded as hedges: sort of, you know and I think. 3. A pragmatic particle usually regarded as an intensifier: of course.
