inquiry about flirtatious language

[Rodrigo Borba]

another interesting book on flirting is Flirt Coach: How to flirt for
friendship, love, and professional success by Peta Heskell (HarperCollins,
2003). Although it doesn't have an interactional sociolinguistic approach
and the focus is not on gender influences on the flirting techniques used by
men and women, I think it may be helpful to Sönke because it shows some
patterns used to flirt in English.

best regards,

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
