A researcher from the Indiana University has come to conclusion that at the time of sending text messages, SMSes, females happen to be far more expressive than men and can also send longer messages. The researcher called Susan Herring also analysed that there were 1164 gender defined dating messages that were posted on the screen during the music video show in Italy and found that women were the ones to push the messages first and had their messages close to the character limit.

She also found out that women were more likely to make use of the abbreviated forms, insertions and other annoying emoticons. On the other hand, the research contradicts the previous studies for a majority of the real life situations when men are known to dominate the conversations at the time of using the jargons. In a normal life, most women make use of the standard language then men since they treat it as a kind of symbolic currency to acquire some upward mobility. As far as the linguistics is concerned, there have been a lot of different values that are associated to the standard and the non-standard languages and here the results are pretty much paradoxical. So the next time you see longer text messages from your girl, do not worry, it’s that feminine part that takes over the.
