Even though women may not only be identified based on their apparent style but also how they choose to present themselves. (i.e. Baggy clothes vs. tight clothes, make-up vs. no makeup). In general, Tannen's findings appear questionable mainly because her approach when defining a "marked" individual seems limiting. For example, Tannen would call a man wearing a shirt a marked individual. However, it is quite common for men in Scotland to wear skirts. Without ever considering .....

The Works And Life Of Charles Dickens
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2273.... reader may have to this situation is that
of a warm and understanding feeling. The joy and bliss of the main
character is rarely showed; the main attitude is the overwhelming
complexity of situations that a boy of that age must face. The reader's

Antiheroism In Hamlet
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 834.... special emphasis on Hamlet's intelligence. In scene two, Hamlet is very insolent and rude towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with such phrases as, That I can keep your counsel and not, mine own. Beside, to be demanded of a sponge, what replication should be made by the son of a king?
