		So this wasn't a male-female difference that Tannen experienced, it was simply that the first person she encountered (who happened to be male) was a very technically oriented type; he probably wasn't trying to be rude or unhelpful, he was just not too great at verbal interaction.
		Example after example, Tannen showcases men who apparently view every suggestion or protective gesture as a constraint on their independence or a belittling of some sort(some of these examples are absolutely infuriating) and women as temperate saints who only want to form connections and a sort of hierarchical symmetry with the people around them.
		For example, Tannen describes a scenario in which a male colleague of her's complains that his editor is like a parole officer because she wrote him in a letter that he should inform her of any long-distance trips he would be taking during his book's production.

	A Review of Deborah Tannen's, Talking from 9 to 5 Women and Men in the Workplace: Language, Sex and Power by ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Tannen believes the most valuable skill managers can pick up from her research is to become aware of conversation differences, which may lead to more employees being heard and evaluated more fairly.
		Tannen makes a good point about how to be rid of the “Glass Ceiling” on page 159, “If more and more people understand the workings of conversational style, they will be able to adjust their own ways of talking and stand a better chance of understanding how others mean what they say.
		Tannen does not tell either sex how they could better their communication styles in order to bridge the gap, but this book uses many examples of situations that people have encountered to help them better understand what women go through.

		Tannen takes a hard look at three Washington mainstays—politics, the media and the law—and how they are falling victim to, and perpetuating, a "war" mentality in public debate.
		She will also be the recipient of our chapter's MATRIX award—for all that she has done to shed light on the unique concerns of women in communication, in the broadest sense, and, by extension, on the concerns of all of us who work in the fields of communications.
		With her new book hot off the press, Professor Tannen will have much to say about women's and men's communication styles, the effects each have in the workplace, and the ways in which they are played out in the larger arena of public debate.

	Amazon.fr : Gender and Discourse: Livres en anglais: Deborah Tannen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Linguistics professor Tannen (You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation, LJ 4/1/92) presents five previously published theoretical essays, each revised and introduced for the specialist and accompanied by notes and references.
		The material included in these five previously published and ponderous essays differs from Tannen's earlier book primarily in that it is addressed to a jury of her academic peers.
		Tannen is at her most interesting (and original) in the introduction, in which she elaborately defends her own ``culture difference theory and research.'' Responding primarily to her scholarly critics who see gender and language according to models of power and dominance, rather than cultural differences, she insists that one does not preclude the other.

	Salon.com Books \| "I Only Say This Because I Love You" by Deborah Tannen
		Tannen calls this the "control continuum": Equality among all family members is an ideal that can never be reached, and family members use their positions to jostle for the right to make demands and have them met.
		Tannen's advice to parents is to accept that they have to act to some degree "like guests" in their adult children's homes, but that they should think of that not as stifling themselves but as "acknowledging the special power you have as parents and choosing to wield it with discretion."
		Alongside the "control continuum" is the "connection continuum." Family members have to figure out the right balance between closeness and distance --feeling "protected and safe" but not "overwhelmed and suffocated." The two continuums frequently overlap, which is what makes it hard to decipher all the metamessages at play in a conversation.

	Salon.com Books \| "I Only Say This Because I Love You" by Deborah Tannen
		Tannen's conclusions are based on carefully gathered empirical evidence and sound linguistic principles -- and lest we forget that she's not some self-appointed expert, she lets us see bits of her transcriptions and analyses of thousands of hours of tape-recorded conversations, showing us her painstaking method at work.
		So what if you have to wade through some painfully predictable metaphors (the family is a "pressure cooker in which relationships roil"; "the seeds of family love" sometimes "yield a harvest of criticism and judgment") to get to the point.
		Tannen's central idea, and the way the book illustrates it in action, are worth it: When we talk to people close to us, we give and receive not only "messages," the literal meaning of whatever words are spoken, but also "metamessages," which communicate to us something about the relationship between the two speakers.

	Amazon.com: Talking from 9 to 5: Women and Men at Work: Books: Deborah Tannen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Tannen probes the way gender roles shape the ways men and women communicate in the workplace, and how these differences lead to misunderstandings.
		This book takes those issues to work and through many examples from her own research and others in sociolinguistics, anthropology and sociology, Tannen makes the point that different communication styles are problematic only when people don't understand them, that there is no "better" way to talk than another.
		One of her overriding points, born out by her research, is that women tend to talk to build community and do nont like to stand out for accomplishments or for failures in a group.

		Now Tannen is back with another groundbreaking book, this time widening her lens to examine the way we communicate in public—in the media, in politics, in our courtrooms, and classrooms—once again letting us see in a new way forces that have powerfully shaped our lives.
