Culture influences thinking, language and human behavior. The anthropologist Hall said, “Culture is communication and communication is culture”. Role differences between sexes (culturally determined) are a product of communication1. Communication (verbal, nonverbal, implicit, explicit) is the process that teaches us to be male or female, that means to behave accordingly to the gender1.

Religious, mythical, philosophical and political discourses transmit us values and norms about our roles based on gender: permissions – what do (can do) a man / woman, prohibitions – what cannot or should not be done by a man / woman, how it should be done etc1. Some communication behaviors acceptable for boys / men are considered completely inappropriate for girls / women1. In this way, differences in the manner of learning the language use and actual use occur1. Therefore, the language itself reflects the social role: for women, communication is the essence of a relationship through the transfer of emotions and feelings, firstly; for men, communication is a form in which they exercise control, keep or demonstrate independence, improve their status, generally by transmission of information (data and facts presented in an analytical manner)1.
