| description | This paper aims to investigate how empathy and assertiveness are expressed linguistically in two corpora (MUJERES y HOMBRES) of fifteen TED talks each, with a view to identifying whether the women in the sample adopt a more empathetic communicative style than men. The frequency and use of deictics, and a number of intensifiers and hedges will be analyzed starting from the comparison of key POS lists in the two corpora. The results of the study suggest a marked preference of the women in the sample for the use of affiliative, empathetic mechanisms, since they employ first person narratives associated with affective vocabulary, inclusive nosotros, question tags and verbs in the second person plural more often (although for the same purposes) than men. |
