Similarities & differences between male and female interaction in politeness devices
Different genders have so much dissimilarity in conversation by knowing the way of how they apply their characters while interacting in communication. The major differences in communication style between genders are for instance, men speak in a firm way which is direct to the point whereas women express indirectly. (Basow & Rubenfield, 2003). From the scene 08:08-08:18 in episode three of season one, Riley who is Ben’s closest female friend, tells Ben that the girl who he is dating, Cassie, is very special but Riley means it in another way which is ‘I hate that girl’. She declares her displeasure feelings by being sarcastic in words instead of being straight forward to convey the message. On the other hand, Riley likes Ben since high school but she denies that she is in love with Ben at the scene 16:40-16:44 in the same episode. In these cases, women express indirectly to prevent issues. (Basow & Rubenfield, 2003). Unlike men, they express in a direct way to solve problem like how Ben and Tuck confronted each other at the scene 08:46-09:28 in episode seven of the first season while they were fighting for a girl named Ava. Men tend to be aggressive and harsh when it comes to a contradiction. (Maltz & Borker, 1982; Wood, 1996; Mason, 1994).
At the scene 09:50-11:09 in episode four of season one, Riley’s date with Jack was interrupted by the two brothers who barged into her place to avoid their mum. It is quite awkward and inconvenient with her friends around in the house during a date but Riley uses ‘please’ in asking them to be quick in changing baby’s diaper and feeding. From this view, women tend be more polite than men in asking favor. (Lakoff, 1975). Due to men’s certain level of aggressiveness, they tend to swear more and use curse words out of conscious but women, the softer types are the other way round. At the scene 21:04-21:10 in the first episode of first season, Ben
