Abstract

Gender differences exist in language expressions among adults and yet, there are different kinds of words in language expression and limited research was done focusing on children. This research proposal is about gender differences among children. We hypothesized that girls will use more emotional words in their talking and boys will use more motion-related words. We intend to recruit 50 children and ask them to describe a series of photos which a recording device equipped on them. Using the recording, researchers will calculate the frequency of emotional and motion-related words to find out whether gender differences exist in expressing these two types of words. The results can help and apply to the education or child psychology field where gender differences can be embedded into teaching techniques.
