Abstract

Language and gender have always been an interesting issue both in academic fields and everyday life, especially when it is claimed that men and women differ in their linguistic behavior. Men are often thought of as being dominant speakers, while women are placed in a subordinate role during the conversation process. Men also tend to be more competitive and less supportive of others, while women are considered cooperative conversationalists. An American linguist, Robin Lakoff, identified a number of linguistic features which she claimed were used more often by women than by men. Those linguistic features are lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, rising intonation on declaratives, 'empty' adjectives, specialized vocabularies, intensifiers, 'hypercorrect' grammar, 'superpolite' forms, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic stress. She said that those linguistic features expressed uncertainty and lack of confidence. This phenomenon can be found in the dialogues that are uttered by the characters of Gilmore Girls TV series, an American TV drama series, which tells about mother-daughter relationship in a small town named Stars Hollow. Because the main characters of this series are female, the writer decided to analyze the use of the women's linguistic features that are uttered by the characters of Gilmore Girls TV series using Lakoff's theory.
