Synopsis

This is a critical review and re-evaluation of the empirical literature on men and women in conversational interaction, in the light of recent debates about gender differences. It contends that gender differences have been exaggerated and that many variables have been ignored, most notably the status and power of the individuals in conversation, and their race and education, among other factors.
