5 Women in Their Speech Communities
Abstract
Many words have been spent on the subject of “women’s speech.” Perhaps because women are so readily identifiable as a group it is assumed that women speak as a group. Women’s experiences have much in common throughout the world, to be sure. And it is possible that we may identify certain common patterns in women’s lives and in women’s speech. But women are members first and foremost of their own small speech communities, and it is in the daily context of their lives, as speaking members of a larger group that their language must be examined. Without this contextual grounding, we are doomed to repeat the stereotypic nonsense of past generations about the language use of women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
