Women, Men and Politeness focuses on the specific issue of the ways in which women and men express politeness verbally.Using a range of evidence and a corpus of data collected largely from New Zealand, Janet Holmes examines the distribution and functions of a range of specific verbal politeness strategies in women's and men's speech and discusses the possible reasons for gender differences in this area. Data provided on interactional strategies, 'hedges and boosters', compliments and apologies, demonstrates ways in which women's politeness patterns differ from men's, with the implications of these different patterns explored, for women in particular, in the areas of education and professional careers.

I was required to buy this for class. As a linguistics student, I found some of the connections between Politeness Theory and different types of speech interesting. This book is based on the speech patterns of those from New Zealand, so I think that it makes a big difference in comparison to the United States speech patterns. I did not like her argument style personally. It seems like she expected her readers to come to the same conclusion as she did when that might not be the case.
