Cooperative/reciprocal/collaborative

Hi



Female speech is typically cooperative, reciprocal and collaborative.

How do should I understand these three?

Does it mean that their speech is based on cooperation with each other ... hmm, I'm not sure.

Thanks

  • Newguest Female speech is typically cooperative, reciprocal and collaborative .
  • How do should I understand these three?
  • They cooperate, reciprocate, and collaborate.
  • That is, each helps the other to keep the conversation going, each allows the other a turn to speak, and each works with the other toward the 'goal' of the conversation, which might be, for example, solving a problem or coming to an understanding about a topic.
  • As you said, it can all be summarized as cooperation in one form or another.
