beginning notes

Hello everyone, I have started to read about the topic we have   chosen and begin to taking small notes as a start. I focused on the gender differences in sociolinguistic 

1- the definition of gender is generally either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behaviour.

2-Language and gender itself is an area of study within sociolinguistic 

3-The linguistics forms used by women and men contrast in many different ways . 

4-it is claimed that women are more linguistically polite than men .

5- for example if you come cross these two questions:

• oh dear, who left the ice-cream outside the fridge, again?
• damn! who left the ice-cream outside the fridge, again?

.you will easily recognise the gender for the two question from the use of forms 

6- the English language has three gender specific pronouns; he (masculine), she (feminine), and it (neuter used for objects).
