Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to discuss the theories which underlie the differences between male and female’s language use. In light of this, the paper provides an overview of the dominant theories and approaches that have been provided in an attempt to understand the roots of men and women’s differences in language use, especially in speaking. Discussion of gender and language is in light of certain accounts and studies that have focussed on certain striking linguistic aspects remarkably noticed in men/women’s speech in different contexts.
