Abstract


Men and women as the two main social groups, in many respects there are differences. And because of social, culture, customs and many other reasons, men and women in terms of language use also showed some differences, gender differences we call language or gender linguistic differences. Gender Differences in language is not only an essential feature of linguistics, sociolinguistics and is different from other linguistic research is a significant sign. Today, gender differences in language research has become a highly dynamic multi-level, multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural research platform, involving sociology, psychology, education, applied linguistics and other fields. As the 21st century's greatest invention of the Internet, has brought to the lives of people around the world has undergone enormous changes. The network began in 1997 upon entering China blog has also been a rapid development. As the newest form of computer-mediated communicative language blog convenience of its technology, content, interactivity, freedom of expression and other characteristics has been widespread concern and welcome. Blog particularity raised again on the network whether gender differences exist in the language controversy Western linguists quickly noticed it and make a lot of research. However, looking past gender disparities for blog research found that the majority are English as a corpus. And to Chinese blog as corpus studies is relatively small, not to mention the combination of English corpus and comparative study. To fill this one blank paper selected a total of 60 US blog (including all 15 Chinese men and women, American men and women of 15) as a research corpus, conducting research on the basis of gender differences, but also to further explore the two State of the same gender sex differences in language use, conduct a comparative analysis. To achieve the purpose, this paper presents the following assumptions: 1) in topic selection, gender differences exist in Sino-US blog, these differences are caused by certain causes. 2) In the use of strong language, gender differences exist in Sino-US blog, these differences are caused by certain causes. 3) In the use of taboo words, gender differences exist in Sino-US blog, these differences are caused by certain causes. 4) In the emotional use of symbols, the Sino-US blog there gender differences, these differences are caused by certain causes. 5) in the use of sentence types, there are gender differences in Sino-US blog, these differences are caused by certain causes. 6) In the use of language on gender, China and the United States of the same sex blog there are differences between these differences are caused by certain causes. The study found that US blog are in the topic selection, strong language, taboo words, sentence type of use, etc. there are different degrees of gender differences. And, between the United States of the same sex blog between the two countries also due to the different cultural and social reflects a certain degree of difference. For example: the choice of the topic, Chinese women and American women tend to be more personal diary in the form of blog, the topic is more focused on feelings, friendship, family and other closely related topics and individuals; while men this topic is relatively less, so that they are more interested in political, social, sports and other aspects of the \In addition, the U.S. blog regarding the topic of personal feelings than China, while China blog regarding the topic of the family is more than the United States. In the use of strong language, China and the United States more women than men use strong language, but in percentage terms, Chinese women are more likely than American women to use strong language. In the use of taboo words, the Chinese men than women use more obvious taboo words, but in the U.S. blog, the sexes for the use of taboo words almost flat, and women seem to use more taboo. Type in the sentence, the Chinese and American women than men use more exclamatory and interrogative, men use more declarative sentences. Moreover, Chinese women exclamatory and interrogative sentences to more than the United States in the number of females. This paper confirms a certain extent, previous research results, and the reasons for the emergence of various differences also made a detailed analysis and explanation. The paper concludes with a proposal, hoping for the blog language research, cross-cultural communication as well as Chinese and English, have implications for other aspects of teaching and learning.
