Most people believe that women talk more. However,linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, saysthat this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more in privatesituations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, shesays, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange informationand gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girlsoften play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often playgames in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are oftenbetter at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.Researchers studied conversations between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They foundevidence that parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. Thestartling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, whenparents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There isalso far more talk about emotions, especially with daughters than with sons.
