YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
Women and Men in Conversation
Deborah Tannen
Ballantine Books, 1990
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this book, the reader should be able to identify gender-specific patterns of communication, differentiate them from purposeful attempts to dominate interactions or miscommunicate, and be able to choose appropriate modes of speech.
Taking a sociolinguistic approach to relationships makes it possible to explain dissatisfactions without accusing anyone of being crazy or wrong, and without blaming or discarding the relationship.
Deborah Tannen, Ph.D., is Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University and author of bestsellers TALKING FROM NINE TO FIVE and THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! She has received grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the National Science Foundation. Dr. Tannen's work has hit a special chord among all those interested in the interpersonal skills of communication. Dr. Tannen has made the specific conversational styles of men and women and the influence of culture, her particular topics of research.
