Deborah Tannen

You Just Don't Understand (eBook, ePUB)

Women and Men in Conversation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Debra Tannen's You Just Don't Understand draws upon groundbreaking research by an acclaimed sociolinguist to show that women and men live in different worlds, made of different words.

Using lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said. With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful writing, Tannen brings gender differences to students in an entertaining and accessible format.

A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will forever change the way students think about-and approach-conversations.
