A study found that men were more likely to interrupt when they talk to women, but it was the same rate when a man spoke to a man, as when a woman talks to another woman.

The deficit model

Lakoff didn't do any imperial research and makes big generalisations about men and women's speech styles without taking other factors into account.
-

Women aren't bought up to be assertive, therefore they don't use language assertively and this restricts them to getting higher statuses and jobs etc...

Diversity model
-
Janet Hyde (2005)
The Diversity Model is considered the most modern approach in terms of gender. Janet Hyde refers to her research as 'The Gender Similarities Hypothesis.'
Males and females are more alike than not, with personality cognitive ability and leadership
-
'Males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables'
However, these claims are not consistent with other scientific data.

Challenges Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus - there are more differences within the genders than between them
- These myths shape our linguistics behaviour that we deem to be normal or deviant
- Even though research proves that the language of men and women is not drastically different, people may hold this stereotype because of the 'myths'

Men’s goals whilst using language tend to be about getting things done whereas women’s goals are making connections to others. Men talk more about things and facts whilst women talk more about relationships and feelings
Men’s way of using language is competitive, reflecting their general interest in acquiring and maintaining status. Women's use is cooperative reflecting their preference for equality and harmony
These differences lead to miscommunication between sexes , with each sex misinterpreting the others intentions. This causes problems in contexts where men and women regularly interact such as a heterosexual relationship.
