Review and Discussion after Chapter 7

1. What is the difference between Gender-Exclusive Features and Gender-


Preferential Features? Examples?
2. After reading my study on Sex-Linked Register, what are some limitations that it
has?
3. Are any of the results found in that study at that time still valid today?
4. How would YOU redo the study to make that study relevant today?
5. How would you adapt it to find out about gender-related language in Chinese?
6. What are some differences between men’s and women’s speech in Chinese?
7. Discuss the explanations Holmes gives for gender differences in language? How
should we view these explanations? (This requires critical thinking skills.)
