초록
Male and female language users have their own speech characteristics in language communication, such as different choices of words, ways of speaking or style, including body languages and facial expressions. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the gender differences in language communication in general and various perspectives on these differences, and to analyze the underlying background reasons causing differences between male and female communication. To do this, some studies on the gender difference in language use are discussed and various types of female-specific language behavior are categorized from the different point of views such as sociolinguistic, feminists, and biological perspectives. In addition, the background reason for the difference between male and female language use will be discussed. This study will show how women accomplish their own gender identity through language behavior. Hopefully, this study on gender identities and differences can help us understand differences not only between men and women but also between individuals of the same sex as well.
