摘要

性别差异研究是社会语言学的重要分支。

随着时代的发展，交际现象和社会以及文化因素之间的相互影响越来越大。

通过比较男性和女性在交际风格上的差异，可以发现复杂的社会因素和深厚的文化对于交际深不可测的影响。

本文是专门对男性和女性的交际风格的对比分析，以便在一定程度上对社会语言学进一步了解，减少交际中由于性别差异引起的误解。

交际风格指的通过语言或非语言行为表现出的一系列交际特征，这些特征根据交际条件的不同而不同。

合适的交际风格，不仅能促进交际的进展，而且对交际能力的培养也有重要作用。

本论文分为四个章节。

第一章作为一个对全文的介绍，首先介绍了研究的背景，然后介绍了国内外研究现状。

第二章集中于男性和女性在语言上不同的特点，并分析了造成这些差异的原因。

本章还介绍了跨性别的沟通，并提出了实现跨性别交际的策略。

第三章介绍了女性言语交际的特点，特别是包括三个现象，即委婉语的使用，插话现象和重复性语言的使用。

最后一章是总结，总结了全文并提出了需要进一步研究的内容。
