    Linguistic style refers to how people use language to convey status. Tannen discusses "One Up, One Down" styles where some assert independence through report talk that boasts and others show involvement through rapport talk. Research found men more likely to take credit for ideas while women give credit to others. Men also boast more about accomplishments. Asking too many questions can undermine status, while apologies and compliments have different meanings between genders. Ritual opposition uses oppositional frames to forge bonds. Genders differ in criticism delivery and speaking to of different status, with potential negative consequences like indirectness being misinterpreted.
