Within this website, a clearer sense as to what the differences are between discourse and semiotic approaches.  I found this site useful to help me while reading “Gender Discourse.”  The site provides definitions of discourse and semiotic to help with the confusion of the two disciplines that have not been traditionally used before.  These two disciplines are also defined with the cultural aspects of translation.

Halliday’s theory describes the theory of language as a social semiotic.  Halliday explains a sociocultural theory of language.  The theory involves earlier theories of language and culture as social interactions.  Halliday specifies the semiotics of the culture at the level of grammatical constituent, at the level of clause.  This site reveals an in-depth theory that covers the history of cultural language and the meanings that we have come to understand them as of today.  Also, this theory explains how language is adjusted to whatever environment we put it in.

This site views a paper written by David G. Novick, Brian Hansen, and Karen Ward, that investigates the role of gazing and eye contact in turn-taking in mixes-initiative conversation and how gaze is a observable cue to reveal how engaged the two speakers are.  The gaze patterns in their study reflect the control of the conversation.  Also the direct physical expressions are used to coordinate how the conversations flow, which I found interesting.  According to Tannen, the gaze in the conversation was essential for the male gender but instead the physical alignment was described more thoroughly.

I found this article to be very true.  I do think that teaching kids not to interrupt adult conversations is very important.  My cousin has a younger daughter and she constantly comes up to her and demands attention even when her mother is engaged in a conversation.  I feel that if you teach a kid not to interrupt adult conversations they can apply that knowledge to all conversations.

This article talks about sarcasm and its negative effects of people. I think that normally when I think of sarcasm, I think of someone joking and I believe that this is the norm today, because we see sarcasm on television being humorous. But this article reminded me of the power words can have on people even if it was originally said to be a joke. The article gives good examples of how sarcasm can be hurtful and how one sarcastic statement can impact a person for years. This article made me realize how important it is to use sarcasm only when appropriate, if it ever is appropriate.

This is another article about sarcasm in relationships. He also agrees that sarcasm does not belong in relationships. He points out one definition that he read said something about “a cutting or biting remark poking fun at someone else’s vice or folly” which seems it is something you would do to your enemy not your loved one. He also makes some reference to Dr. Grottman who was also talked about by Dr. Coleman in the book Lazy Husband.

In this weblink, it is a message “blog” board that consist questions raised by the public and people responding to those questions either in the negative bias or the positive bias. Some of the contents of the comments state that parental consent is tradition and outdated. Some others say that consulting with your parents depends on your ethnic background. One person states that the purpose behind parental consent before proposing is about communication and trust by both the family and the person asking for marriage: “It gives them a way to feel involved, even as you make plans to build a family that's independent and separate from either person's connection to their parents.”

This is a link to an excerpt from Deborah Tannen’s book, You Just Don’t Understand: Men and Women in Conversation.  It seems to, of course, have a very similar view as Gender and Discourse, but more primarily focuses on men and women in conversation not necessarily different ethnicities.  An interesting point she makes is, “the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.”  I find this book to seem relative to other self-help books on marriage because Deborah Tannen stresses that the reason that America has a 50% divorce rate is due in part to the lack of communication between men and women and husbands and wives.

This is just an abstract but as I was reading the summary, it shows five different things that couples either agree or disagree on according to communicating and understanding each other. The summary results were also alarming because one of them is that even though the couple was understood they still had negative statements about not being able to communicate.

In this article a man named Leach who signed record deals with the Ying Yang Twins, attended a meeting to answer some questions. He said that there is a limit to what they produce and those limits are set by the people who listen to the music. He also said that the harm is not in the material and that they can’t take individual choice out of it. I can see why he is defending himself that way, its because it's the only angle he has, just to say that people have a choice in what they listen to. I think that was a cheap answer and he should have tried to come up with a better one.
