dc.description.abstractIn my thesis, I would like to prove that women are linguistically more polite than men. I will try to justify this claim by finding evidence in the usage of such discourse strategies as interruptions, overlaps and minimal responses. In order to have a clear-cut analysis of these linguistic devices, I will examine conversations not only in mixed-sex pairs or groups but also between the same sexes. Moreover, I will make a distinction between interruptions and overlaps and try to compare them with minimal responses which also occur during someone’s speaking turn. It will also turn out whether using minimal responses during others’ turn space or not intruding into the current speaker’s turn are viewed as clear signs of weakness or not. Additionally, we will see whether the timing of these strategies takes an important role in controlling a conversation.hu_HU
