Patterns of variation between men and women speakers

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

I think there must be differences derived from cultural divisions... women have been taught to avoid some kinds of words and to avoid certain tones, but I think those differences are not so easy to see now that women talk like men in many of the ugly ways our grandmothers taught us not to. :rolleyes: :D


And like Les Luthiers say (in perfect Mexican accent, although they are Argentinians), "Ándale, Bernardo, ¡cántale ahorita la tuuuyaAA!"

:erm: Ehmmm... discrepo un poco... las palabras son perfectamente mexicanas, pero el acento no (es una mezcla demasiado heterogénea de formas de hablar en las películas). :p

Así -con ese acento- hablaba una mexicana que conocí hace unos meses cuando viajaba por el norte de América, y no era actriz exactamente :rolleyes: (lamentablemente)

I agree with you, Chileno, I think that such patterns depend more on the age than on the sex. I asked my husband about it, he's a teacher and he speaks with a lot of people of different ages (another teachers and students) everyday, much more than I do, for if he had noticed any difference between girls and boys when they talked. His answer made me laugh: "¿Te has fijado en esos programas de la tele, tipo X, Y o Z, en que aparecen hombres y mujeres o chicos y chicas? Pues todos hablan igual de zafio." :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately, all that has spread out to our countries in even a more alarming rate, and things are "happenning" faster than ever.

I hope something good comes out it, as it should.
