Abstract

IN DOING 'AGREEMENT'/'DISAGREEMENT' AS FACE-SAVING/FACE- THREATENING ACTS, WOMEN AND MEN-WHO CONSTITUTE HIERARCHICALLY ORGANIZED SUBCULTURES-TEND TO UTILIZE STRATEGIES TO CONVEY THEIR AFFILIATION WITH, OR DISAFFILIATION FROM, OTHER PARTICIPANTS. FOLLOWING INITIAL ASSESSMENTS WHICH INVITE AGREEMENT, WOMEN USUALLY OPT FOR 'UPGRADING', ESPECIALLY WITHIN 'CLUSTER OF AGREEMENTS' SEQUENCES, WHILE MEN SETTLE FOR 'SAME EVALUATIONS' OR 'DOWNGRADES'. ADDITIONALLY, FEMALE DISAGREEMENT IS OFTEN 'WEAK DISAGREEMENT'- IN CONJUNCTION WITH AGREEING PREFACES, INTRA-TURN PAUSES, HEDGES, QUALIFICATIONS, AND ACCOUNTS-OR IS PERFORMED 'OFF -RECORD' ESPECIALLY WHEN DIRECTED TO A MALE INTERLOCUTOR. MEN, ON THE OTHER HAND, EITHER GO 'BALD ON RECORD' WITH THEIR UNACCOUNTED FOR, 'STRONG DISAGREEMENTS' OR PERFORM THEM WITH INTER-TURN DELAY, WHICH TENDS TO BE MORE PROLONGED WHEN DISAGREEING IS DONE AGAINST WOMEN. WHEN THEIR 'AGREEING'/'DISAGREEING' IS DONE AS SIMULTANEOUS SPEECH, WOMEN OVERWHELMINGLY PERFORM SIMULTANEITY IN AGREEMENT WITH THEIR INTERLOCUTORS WHILE MEN USE IT EQUALLY OFTEN AS A SIGNAL OF BOTH AGREEMENT,AND DISAGREEMENT, WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS, THEIR INTERVENTIONS MORE OFTEN DIRECTED AT FEMALE INTERLOCUTORS RATHER THAN MALE ONES. AS REGARDS 'AGREEMENT'/'DISAGREEMENT' AS AFFILIATION AND CONTROL IN TERMS OF TURN DISTRIBUTION AND TOPIC FLOW, IT SEEMS THAT WOMEN, WHO BOTH TAKE FEWER TURNS AND RAISE FEWER TOPICS, AREMAINLY PREOCCUPIED WITH CONVERSATIONAL MAINTENANCE EXPRESSED AS AGREEMENT WITH, AND SUPPORT OF, CURRENT (MALE) SPEAKER'S TOPIC, WHILE MEN ARE MORE CONTROL-MINDED, IN ATTEMPTING AND EFFECTING MORE TOPIC SHIFTS OVER MORE TURNS, THEIR CONVERSATIONAL DOMINANCE USUALLY EXERCISED OVER WOMEN OVER HALF OF WHOSE TOPICS WERE MET WITH DISAGREEMENT AND SO INEXORABLY FAILED TO MATERIALIZE.
