　　According to the latest research in the' United Statesof America, men and women talk such differentlanguages that it is like people from two differentcultures trying to communicate. Professor DeborahTannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy's and girl'sconversations from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less definite thanboys' and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with theirlisteners.

　　These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk mostand interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equalamounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, forwoman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a wayto explore the power structure of a relationship.

When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he hasmore knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. When a woman teaches anotherwoman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her studentto join in. But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. Shesays women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the researchsuggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, womenactually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and helpto establish a relationship.
