Noting the importance of women’s language use in same-sex talk, this study was conducted to identify the use of conversational strategies and its functions produced by female speakers in interview article on O’ The Oprah magazine. Qualitative method is used as an approach by focusing on written text of interview article. Coates’ theory (2004) is applied in order to identify the conversational strategies used by female speakers in term same-sex talk.

Each of these conversational strategies serves different functions in same-sex conversational.
