Abstract
Women's speech in Korean and English is described and compared in the areas of grammar, phonology, lexis, semantics, and speech acts. It is assumed that women's speech may be described in terms of two behavioral notions: politeness and expressiveness. The observed linguistic variations in men's and women's speech in the two languages are also explained with reference to the sociocultural norms of the societies in which they are used.
