Abstract

This study analyzed some conversations in the male, female and male-female groups of some university students. Using McCarthy\u27s classification of topics, the results show that \u27Persons\u27 is the typical topic in the female group, while \u27Objects/ belongings\u27 is the most favorite topic in the male group. In the mixed-sex group, it is interesting to see how both sexes negotiated the topics by proposing the typical topics of the other sex group
