two requests for research pointers

[Eva Vanhoorne]

Miss Horn,

I'm going to do a research about language differences
between sexes to, but mostly from a syntactic point of
view and conversation analysis. So, if you would
receive any suggestions about this (also in children
books), could you please mail them to me also.
Thanks in advance
Eva Vanhoorne
