Abstract

Female speakers have special social characters as markers of personal identity when interacting in speech acts, namely, the features of female language markers whose characteristics are already attached to the identity of female speakers. They are identical to the speaker’s character, namely, having a smooth and soft impression, having politeness values, adherence to binding patterns, and being more expressive concerning the speaker’s inner feelings. Therefore, those features are inferior and weak to the certainty value. One of them can be seen in the speech used by 宁静 Níng Jìng in the interview program 《星月对话 》 Xīngyuè Duìhuà episode 10. There were nine types of features of female language markers and five functions based on the context of the use of vocabulary; namely, elements in the form of lexical fences as markers of the start of speech acts, features in the form of interrogative speech as markers for obtaining response and approval, interrogative speech as a marker of uncertainty or doubt, elements in the form of formal speech as a sign of politeness, and segments in the form of expressive speech as a marker of expressing feelings.
