Inscribed on half-title. The inscription reads To Rebecca, Best wishes Deborah Tannen. Explores the connections among sisters throughout their childhood years into adulthood, including competitiveness, age differences, and lifelong friendships. Deborah Frances Tannen (born June 7, 1945) is an American academic and professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. Tannen's main research focus is on the expression of interpersonal relationships in conversational interaction. Tannen has explored conversational interaction and style differences at a number of different levels and as related to different situations, including differences in conversational style as connected to the gender and cultural background, as well as speech that is tailored for specific listeners based on the speaker's social role. In particular, Tannen has done extensive gender-linked research and writing that focused on miscommunications between men and women; however, some linguists have argued against Tannen's claims from a feminist standpoint. Tannen's research began when she analyzed with her friends while working on her Ph.D. According to Tannen, some features of conversational style are topic, genre, pace, and expressive paralinguistics New York Times Bestseller.

What Deborah Tannen did for women and men in You Just Don't Understand, and mothers and daughters in You're Wearing THAT?, she now does for sisters in an illuminating and entertaining book that explores one of the most powerful and precious relationships in our lives. When you're with a sister, you can laugh your head off, or giggle and be silly like when you were kids. But she can also send you into a tailspin with just one wrong word. Sisters talking are tugged by two dynamicscloseness and competition. On one hand, they strive for the right blend of closeness and independence, always asking, "How are we the same? How are we different?" At the same time, their places in the line-up by age can create a power struggle. There can also be an underlying contest, because sisters are continually compared to each other, and families often label each sister in terms of comparison: the bookworm and the athlete, the outgoing one and the shy one; the pretty one and the smart one. Sometimes it seems you can't think of yourself without thinking of your sister. With her signature insight and humor, Tannen shares anecdotes from well over a hundred women she interviewed, along with moving and funny stories about her own two sisters. You'll come away with a profound new understanding, as well as ideas for improving this unique and precious relationship.…
