Two 15-year-olds, John and Martha, are deeply engaged in conversation. If typical gender differences in language hold true for John and Martha, we would expect that:
◦ John would be focused on demonstrating his superior verbal ability, whereas Martha would be focused on commending John for his strength and agility
◦ John would focus on providing information in a fairly blunt manner, whereas Martha would focus on maintaining the relationship through tact and courtesy
◦ Martha would do most of the talking and John would be tuning out a lot of what she says
◦ Martha would be subtly trying to teach John new things, whereas John would be trying to demonstrate how much he already knows
