inquiry about flirtatious language

[Rodrigo Borba]

I think Language and Sexuality by Kulick and Cameron (Cambridge, 2003) might
be helpful. See also Gender and Discourse by Deborah Tannen, there is a nice
article about the different stratagies used by men and women while flirting.

I hope the books might be helpfull

Does anyone have suggestions for this student? Please email me directly and
I'll pass on the information to her.

Thanks very much,

I am a student from Germany who studies Anglistics. Within a linguistic
course I want to go deeper into the field of language and flirtation. Is
there any material about how males tease (in a friendly way) women in order
to flirt with them (they enjoy the teasing and complain but insinuating that
they should go on). I want to analyse an (informal) mixed-gender
conversation. A theoretical background would be a great support for me.
Thank you very much for your efforts!!!

kind regards

Sönke Bussenius
