  1. Okay, let's continue with another very important aspect discussed in chapter 12,
  2. we have gossip, gossip refers that for example, woman during the re gossips.
  3. They use like more emotions.
  4. There are more emotions involved and more
  5. feelings when they are talking each other.
  6. However, um boys on the other hand, they use they use like more reparation of topics.
  7. Uh
  8. that's why they just they focus on the information and the
  9. facts that rather than on emotions and feelings that women do.
  10. We have also construction of gender. Um, it is not a matter if you are male or female.
  11. Uh
  12. Yeah, it is not 100% that way. You can build your own gender.
  13. For example, a woman who who practices.
  14. Um, but she will have like a stronger muscles and a stronger voice.
  15. So she will transmit like uh image of a male.
  16. Um, that's what constitutional agenda is.
  17. We have sex, some people, uh it is a matter of culture and society, for example,
  18. people used to give values to others depending
  19. on their gender instead of their individual merits.
  20. That it shouldn't be that way. That's what it gives me to.
  21. The conclusion that Mia's and and building one educator must be aware of
  22. this and try to eradicate the sets his messages of in classroom.
  23. For example,
  24. they used to transmit to Children to other students that we are all equal.
  25. It doesn't,
  26. it shouldn't be that the girls must speak more politely or that
  27. you should give approach differently to a male or to a female.
  28. We are all human beings. So try to eradicate those sex is uh,
  29. and in the classroom.
  30. Another important thing that I want to talk about the 10 chapter,
  31. it's accommodation of the partner, didn't mention it.
  32. Accommodation refers when you adapt your speech and your your pronunciation,
  33. your grandma, your ecology to the other uh
  34. person. So in order to make them feel comfortable or that they are worth imitating.
  35. So for example, we have a speech convergence that it refers when you
  36. when you adapt your speech uh to make them feel comfortable.
  37. We have a species divergence that it refers when you
  38. deliberately choose another language,
  39. that the address is not familiarized with it.
  40. Uh,
  41. We have ours convergence when you adapt your most formal standard ways
  42. of a speech when it is something of more power or status.
  43. And we have downward convergence when you had your
  44. speech to someone that is from lower status.
