　　本研究主要的目的是要找出兩性差異是如何反映在男女書寫中文敘述文體上。是否在我們的社會文化的環境裡男女會建構不同的語言使用形式？或者社會和文化中男女的不同角色扮演會產生不同的男性和女性特色的語言使用？他們是否因為他們不同的語言使用而對彼此有不同的期待與判斷？本論文即是試圖要藉由分析書寫中文敘述文體來檢視兩性的差異，特別是藉由個人描寫父親或母親來分析其差異。
　　我選擇藉由個人描述其父親或母親來作為我研究分析的文本是因為個人敘述文體有自我描繪的功用。藉由描寫與父親或母親的關係，可以顯現出個人和父母之間因不同的角色扮演所呈現出的身份地位和感情關係，以及這些關係是如何藉由一連串不同的語言技巧所呈現和建構。因此，書寫敘述文體是一個非常豐富語料來源，藉由語言社會化的過程，我們可以建構個人和個人在社會上的象徵地位。
　　藉由從社會文化的觀點來分析研究書寫敘述文體，這個研究試圖要提醒讀者來關心語言與社會的關係，並將語言視為一個語言交談使用形成的中心，藉由語言，不同的社會力量產生並且說話者也可以藉此主動地或被動地建構其個人的身份表徵。
　　經由這個研究，我們可以看到男女語言的差異並非是天生的特質，並且我們也可以瞭解到男女語言使用不同的原因，藉由社會文化建構的觀點提供另一個不同的觀點來檢視兩性的關係。因此，男女之間語言的差異得深入研究是因為他們可以幫助我們瞭解到兩性的差異是如何而來並且可以瞭解到如此的不同對我們日常生活和自我的認知過程的影響。
　　總之，本研究試圖要找到兩性差異是如何藉由語言來構建並且探討造成如此差異是如何藉由語言來構建並且探討造成如此差異的社會文化的原因。藉由比較主題、背景環境、語言、角色扮演、和不同的父親和母親的外表描寫，我們可以看到我們對父親或母親的不同期待和不同的溝通方式藉由語言的描寫而建構、反映和再現。這可以使我們知道我們的社會如何藉由個人的敘述文體來加諸特定的刻板印象和不同期待於男人與女人。

　　This study is trying to examice gender differences by analyzing the written narratives in Chinese, especially personal narratives about one's father or mother.
　　I choose to use personal narrative of one's father or mother as the bases for my study because personal narratives serve as self-portrait. By writing on our relationship with our father or mother, we are revealing our fellings, sense of identity of ourselves and our parents and how these sets of relationship were constructed via a series of linguistic devices. Thus, written personal narrative is a rich resource for the display of self and identity constructed through verbal socialization.
　　By studying written narratives and analyzing them from sociocultural perspective, this study has tried to alert readers to areas of language and society, viewing language as a locus for discourse formation where various social forces take place and where speakers actively construct their sense of identity.
　　Through the study, we are able to see that the linguistic differences used by women and man are not innate nor idiosyncartic, and being aware of the cause of the difference of language use between men and women leads us to take another look at the social relation between the two sexes. Therefore, the linguistic differences between men and women are worth studying because they can help us understand where such differences come form and be aware of the impact that such differences have on our percepotions of ourselves and our everyday socialization.
　　In conclusion, the present study has been an attempt to find out how gender difference is constructed in language and explore the sociocultural causes for such difference. By comparing linguistic devices such as topics, settings, language, roles, and physical descriptions used for one's father or mother, we are able to see how our interaction and expectations of father and mother are constructed, reflected and reproduced. This enables us to know how our societ impose certain stereotypical expectations on indeviduals, men and women, through personal narratives.
