Deborah Tannen Sex Sighs And Conversation Summary

Improved Essays
In 1990, Deborah Tannen wrote the article “Sex, Sighs, and Conversation”. In her article, she explains to the audience why men and women can not communicate. The author primarily supported the main idea, by telling a story, giving examples, and statistics. The author gave an example of when the woman was chatting with the man that “why do not we ask someone?” The man was saying, not for the first time, “I am sure it is around here somewhere. I will just try this street.” In my opinion, the author’s is explanting that men prefer to do things on their own than to ask someone but in the other hand women do not mind asking, to make thing easier. Women like when they are supported in doing things but men prefer doing things by themselves.

    Deborah Tannen provided well constructed examples in her article “But What Do You Mean?” discussing how conversations are mis-communicated between men and women. First, Tannen described apologies in miscommunication. A woman would expect a man to reciprocate an apology to her to share the blame in equal parts. For example, if a female professor accidentally hit a male professor as she walked past him, she would want him to apologize after her apology. Furthermore, Tannen explained the downfalls of women apologizing too much.…

There are several nonverbal functions and forms that could be discussed, but this literature review primarily focuses on the points that are relevant to the analysis. The section concludes with several key criteria points that the analysis will be based off of. Julia T. Wood explains that there are three main functions to nonverbal communication: To supplement verbal communication, to regulate interaction, and to “convey the bulk of the relationship level of meaning” (2014). While the first function will not apply to the analysis in this paper, the two others will.…

    I just have to remember that my wife is not one of my male colleagues from work; she is my wife, and sometimes I can take my jokes a little too far. In conclusion, I think the essay written by Deborah Tannen, “But What Do You Mean?”, accurately portrays the communication styles of men and women. I know that I, for one, conform very accurately to the male gender as described by Tannen because my communication style is very direct, I like to critique, and I like to joke…

    As I read Deborah Tannen's essay "But What Do You Mean?" she concentrates on several conversational styles between women and men. I feel that her assessment was more so unresearched, because intending to point out where men and women fail when they communicate; Tannen actually gives a more one sided understanding of styles. Sadly, from reading her essay, she tends to show a lot of bias when she writes. And even though, she does deal with several conversational styles and examples, Tannen is leaning more on a women’s point of view. So from a guy’s perspective, it would be hard to understand what she is trying to say, at least from my point-of-view.…

    In the article, “But What Do You Mean?”, author Deborah Tannen discusses what she has observed to be differences in ways that women and men communicate. She concludes by stating that neither communication style in incorrect, however, to alleviate miscommunication women and men should use language that is understood by both parties. While I do not disagree with Tannen’s observations, I find some flaws with her solution. As recent brain studies have shown, women and men are not significantly different, to the point where I speculate that the different socialization of women and men as children breeds the stylistic communication variances Tannen defines. While limiting one’s speech to common language may work in a pinch, there is a long-term solution…

    With any good relationship between two people, proper communication is the key to respecting one another and creating a solid structure for a long-lasting connection. Communication can make someone feel wanted, secure, and provide them with a sense of happiness in life. On the other hand, a lack of communication between individuals can cause a feeling of loneliness in someone and typically leads to the termination of a relationship. The issue of improper communication can be present with two females or two males, however, it most commonly exists between females and males. This likely happens because some males tend to engage interest in women for their looks, rather than their personalities.…

    Men expect silent attention; however, when there are listener noises men perceive them as impatience or overreaction. Another difference among men and women is how they express support. Women have the tendency to agree to each other, while men tend to point out the other side of an argument Men’s conversational duty can be seen to women as disloyalty, and refusal to offer the requisite support (Tannen 284). Men take too literally women’s “trouble talk”, just as women mistake men’s challenges and real…

    As written in, “Speaking While Female” the authors begin to discuss how Glen Mazzara producer of a television show noticed two of the females who were not interactive during the story meetings. He had pulled them aside and encouraged them to speak up, but then responded, “Watch what happens when we do.” (366) From there Mazzara had seen the horror of the two women being interrupted within mid-sentence while a male shot down their creative ideas, pitching their own. As the short essay continues, it states, “Male executives who spoke more often than their peers were rewarded 10 percent higher ratings of competence… while both men and women punished the females with 14 percent lower ratings of competence.” (367) Further research had shown even in health occupations, the gender role takes place; women do not have a voice and are pushed down, while the men did.…

    Deborah Tannens essay “Sex, Lies and Conversation: Why Is It So Hard for Men and Women to Talk To Each Other?” offers many explanations as to why men and women converse differently. Tannen concluded from her own research that the linguistic differences, body language, and silence in opposing settings have an equal contribution as to why the genders communicate differently among groups of all the same gender and groups of opposing gender. While women often add their input on a situation men find that as being a challenge of their dominance. Tannen effectively demonstrates the riff between the genders through the use of childhood experiences, and showing how younger experiences shape adult communication behaviors. Men and women have very different…

    The article “Sex, Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen illustrates several points about the differences and similarities between the conversational techniques of men and women of varying ages. In her article, she mentions how men and women have different expectations of what a conversationalist is supposed to do, one of them being that women “assume a conversationalist's job is to express agreement and support” (para 19) meanwhile men “see their conversational duty as pointing out the other side of an argument” (para 19). This can create unintended tension between both people, such can be seen in the book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar. Chapter four of the book is when hunger and desperation first begins to show itself within the 33 men.…

    When I came to the United States, I was educated and spoke English. It was British English; the pronunciation, spellings of some words and some of the grammar were completely different. When I enrolled in middle school, everybody made fun of me; all the students thought I was not smart because I could not communicate with them in American English. However, it was not just hard to communicate with other men, but it was also hard to communicate with women because I am a man. I believe that there is a difference in how individuals communicate; it all depends on a person’s gender and the language he or she grew up speaking.…
