Abstract

The article discusses the results of the surveys on the impact of gender difference on speech and communication, comparing past and present investigations on the issue. It also explores the differences between men and women speech peculiarities based on the survey results conducted with native English speakers. The results of previous researches conducted by Lakoff R, Tanin D and Cameron M show that there is a distinct difference between men and women’s speech in terms of pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary and speech style. However, our research survey results indicate some changes in the previously made conclusions from which it can be concluded that the changes of social status of women have influenced on the speech style and communication strategies.
