In other words, there are definitely some kind of female Japanese that aren't widely recognized to represent a gender in Japanese.Daichihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181318938441759062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803222.post-9568771295782312302007-10-19T22:38:00.000-06:002007-10-19T22:38:00.000-06:00Gender Genie gets my gender right about 2/3 of the...Gender Genie gets my gender right about 2/3 of the time.

That's how gay males talk in Japan. There's an additional level of indirection to this - folks who know about this peculiarity of Japanese language and who picked it up their vocabulary and intonation by talking with women try to "overcorrect" and as a result sound "uncouth".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803222.post-22817820099578555832007-10-19T13:48:00.000-06:002007-10-19T13:48:00.000-06:00At ACL 2005 I saw this talk:Constantinos Boulis; M...At ACL 2005 I saw this talk:<BR/><BR/>Constantinos Boulis; Mari Ostendorf<BR/>A Quantitative Analysis of Lexical Differences Between Genders in Telephone Conversations.

Most use some mix of pitch, rate, segmental and lexical information. Gender's a pretty easy task with speech given baseline pitch differences.<BR/><BR/>Almost all of the speech corpora come with not only gender, but lots more demographic information. Accent's pretty important in speech.<BR/><BR/>Hint: the speech folks tend to use "identification" rather than classification in titles if you do a search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803222.post-75751228168828615552007-10-19T11:30:00.000-06:002007-10-19T11:30:00.000-06:00I've experienced this first hand as a high school ...I've experienced this first hand as a high school exchange student. I think that it wasn't that women taught me, it was that women talked a lot more and I wasn't used to consciously listening for speech differences between genders. There definitely are differences, especially in the choice of personal pronoun -- it's not a hard and fast rule, men just have a larger set of personal pronouns to choose one, but if you always use the safe and gender neutral "watashi" that they teach in textbooks you will sound female.<BR/><BR/>I had another problem where I found it really hard to learn formal Japanese. As a high school student I was at the bottom of the hierarchy and so it was rare that anyone would speak to me using formal language. At the same time, I was expected to speak formally to teachers and other adults.<BR/><BR/>LukasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803222.post-25927053117564621652007-10-19T10:09:00.000-06:002007-10-19T10:09:00.000-06:00Having had to stare at some speaech transcripts re...Having had to stare at some speaech transcripts recently, you could try identifying speaker gender by looking for cue phrases like "my wife" or "my husband" that could be strongly indicative of gender. Might not get much, but a Google search for "gender labeled speech transcripts" doesn't look promising.<BR/><BR/>I heard Dan Jurafsky recently collected a set of speed dating conversations: I don't know if they're transcribed, or how easy it'd be to gain access to it (privacy issues and all), but it might be worth asking if it's something you plan on checking out further.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667686849634630528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803222.post-17561750802686831892007-10-19T08:52:00.000-06:002007-10-19T08:52:00.000-06:00As a linguist, I've heard this story a dozen times...As a linguist, I've heard this story a dozen times: a male learns Japanese from women, and then is told he speaks like a female. <BR/><BR/>It's remarkably common.
