Dear Linguist List subscribers, I've been trying to gather materials for a paper on non-verbal language use by different sexes. Although I am going to concentrate in the paper mainly on the Internet communication (any communication systems within the medium) I would be interested in any hints on the latest writings/findings in the field. I find it very hard to access both the specific materials that I have the references for, as well as the materials themselves in Poland. I managed to track down some conference materials, however, it is impossible to get them in any Polish libraries. Before setting off for the any inter-library loan systems which take a lot of time to get the desired materials I thought perhaps some of you could point me to any other internet-based sources of the writings on the subject of gender differences in non-verbal language use (esp. the case of online communication). Perhaps somebody knows of any access to an electronic version of the following works or perhaps of a way I could contact the author(s): Epstein, C. F. (1986) Symbolic segregation: Similarities and differences in the language and non-verbal communication of women and men. Sociological Forum, 1(1): 27-49 Ivy, D. K. and Backlund, P. (1994) Exploring GenderSpeak: Personal effectiveness in gender communication. New York: McGraw-Hill Kramarae, C. and Taylor, J. (1993) Women and men on electronic networks: a conversation or a monologue? In _Women, Information Technology, and Scholarship_, 52-61. Urbana, IL: Center for Advanced Study, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Any issues of _Computers in Human Behavior_, best accessible online. Should anybody be interested in the subject I can share the references/bibliography on the subject or post it to the list if there is a considerable interest in it. Thank you for any help, - Michal Lisecki [lisu] <magura AT giga.pl> |
