Abstract

The relationship between gender and language has been studied with main focus on differences between the language of male and female from different angles with different methodologies. The research findings lay different emphasis on the differences, but there are some problems in the researches. This paper will review the previous researches into gender differences, then point out the problems existing in methodology and research findings, and finally propose that researchers should pay more attention to the similarities between the language of both genders, the similarities play the same important part as well as differences.
