Differences in expressing emotiveness in Facebook chats

This bachelor's thesis is concerned with the characteristics of language means used on the internet and social media, specifically on Facebook, and with gender-related studies concerned with the differences between expressing emotiveness in the language of men and women. Analysis in the empirical part is based on the conversations I obtained myself from native English speakers who are from England. The main focus is to point out the differences between expressing emotiveness and affection in male-male, male-female and female-female conversations. The emphasis is put on commenting on these differences, which are connected to the theories of the most fundamental authors and experts in this field. The aim of this thesis is to point out these differences in expressing feelings and emotiveness, comment on these differences and compare them with the other conversation excepts of the same nature, from which I am going to draw a conclusion within the limited extent of this corpus, in the final chapter of this thesis
