Men or women? talk more, talk too much, ask more questions, are more co-operative, don't talk about emotions, talk about women and machines in the same way, dominate conversation, speak with more authority, give more commands, interrupt more, are more polite, talk about sport more, insult each other frequently, swear more, support each other, are competitive in conversation, are indecisive/hesitant, complain and nag,

  2. In Living Language (p. 222), George Keith and John Shuttleworth record suggestions that: women - talk more than men, talk too much, are more polite, are indecisive/hesitant, complain and nag, ask more questions, support each other, are more co-operative, men - swear more, don't talk about emotions, talk about sport more, talk about women and machines in the same way, insult each other frequently, are competitive in conversation, dominate conversation, speak with more authority, give more commands, interrupt more. Note that some of these are objective descriptions which can be verified (ask questions, give commands) while others express unscientific, popular ideas about language and introduce non-linguistic value judgements (nag, speak with more authority).
