MALE AND FEMALE SPEECH DIFFERENCES IN K.MANSFIELD’S WORKS

The scientific article is devoted to the analysis of male and female speech differences in K. Mansfield’s short stories. Different examples are analyzed through analytical and comparative methods, in order to explain the purport of male and female speech differences. Gender differences are a fundamental fact of human life and it is not surprising to find them reflected in language. There is perhaps no better way to understand human behavior as a whole than to analyze the differences between males and females. Everybody has a different style of communicating with other people. Generally speaking, men and women talk differently although there are varying degrees of masculine and feminine speech characteristics in each of us. But men and women speak in particular ways mostly because those ways are associated with their gender.
