Abstract

This work highlights several features of women speech. Sex differences are obviously admitted, but no judgment is made about social or genre problems associated. The terms of the title point out to topics such as what is usually communicated by women through their discourses? (what they talk about), how they get the hearer's interest? (their seduction techniques) and how they persuade? (conviction resources used). All these topics, together with parameters such as women's psychology or temperament, awareness of personal status, social distance or formality applied to discourse, will be the ones in which a study of the specifi c features of women's speech will learn (attentive observation, indirect address, cooperative strategies or search for agreement).
