m going through emails (several thousand) upon returning from the field after a couple of months. Responding to another item I already sent you the reference for my student’s thesis. I also discuss the ranking of subject and object & it’s relationship to sexism in English in a number of my publications on the theoretical construct that I call Derivational Thinking. You can find the references on my website & also a number of the articles themselves under ‘resources’ under my course summaries for Language & Gender or Language & Culture.<BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">I would like to get your help on this matter. Do you have any material on the subject? I found a substantial difference in usage of these two kinds of verbs - when writing on women and men (more intransitive verbs when describing men and vice versa), but don't know how to explain it. Can you help?<BR>
