A Dissertation by GRACE HUI-CHIN LIN Submitted to the Office of ...

from a female:
There were two factors why I developed my talking behaviors to be
male-dominated. First, I perceived that it was my mature speaking pattern,
which was developed gradually and naturally. Second, I was influenced by
my friends. Among my male friends, a high percentage of them talked in a
very powerful way, which made others, perceive that they were generous,
earsplitting, and commanding. Hence, it was impossible to imagine how I and
my chap friends would appeal for assistance from the females when we were
talking like this.

Jian Guo believed the application of cooperation strategy should be combined
with the other strategies. Jian Guo pointed out that he would clarify a vague meaning
through using the cooperation strategy. Jian Guo used cooperation strategy to
reconfirm the meanings. In the first week, Jian Guo emphasized that the cooperation
strategy should be employed after someone used the interlanguage strategy.
After I conveyed a meaning with interlanguage strategy, the cooperation
strategy could be applied for making an accurate meaning and learning a new
vocabulary. I believed that interlanguage made you formulate your intended
meaning successfully and the “cooperation” was like a springboard, which
made you jump higher and put the meaning in words more accurately.
