Abstract:	This master´s thesis examines the role of gender in political interviews. It focuses on how men and women use linguistic features in eight selected political interviews. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of the following linguistic features to see if men and women use them differently: minimal responses, hedges, tag questions, elicitation types, interruptions, silences, pauses and hogging the floor. The political interviews were transcribed according to Tannen´s transcription conventions (2007). Previous research indicates that women use the above-mentioned linguistic features to connect and show support, while men use them to dominate and have power over the conversation. The following hypotheses were tested in the study: Hypothesis 1: Women use minimal responses more than men. Hypothesis 2: Women use more hedges than men. Hypothesis 3: Women use tag questions more than men. Hypothesis 4: Men interrupt women more than women interrupt men. Hypothesis 5: Overlapping talk is used more by men than women. Hypothesis 6: Male speakers talk more than female speakers. Hypotheses 7: Men use elicitations to attack and women to support. Contrary to our expectations the results reveal that men use more minimal responses and hedges than women. By doing that they maintain their power and control over the interview. Also, women do not use more tag questions than men. On the other hand, in mixed-gender interviews women interrupt the conversation more than men. There are fewer overlaps when there are two females in the interviews compared to mixed-gender interviews. Our results also showed that men dominate the talking time. This study is limited to eight interviews; however, its findings can be used as a basis for further research in this area.

Title:	Razlike med spoloma v pogovorih v političnih intervjujih : = magistrsko delo
Abstract:	Jezikovne in komunikacijske razlike med spoloma so predmet mnogih raziskav, ki poskušajo razkriti vzorce in vzroke teh razlik. Obstaja veliko teorij o razlikah v jezikovni rabi moških in žensk. V pričujoči magistrski nalogi je vloga spola v jeziku preučena na temelju več teorij, nato pa raziskana na primeru besedilnega gradiva političnih intervjujev. Pričujoča magistrska naloga obravnava osem političnih intervjujev. Ti intervjuji, ki so bili izbrani s spletne strani YouTube, so kratki in so del večernih informativnih oddaj v ZDA in Veliki Britaniji. Intervjuji so spolno mešani – pogovori potekajo med voditeljem ali voditeljico in gostom ali gostjo. Zanimale so nas jezikovne in komunikacijske razlike ter značilnosti intervjujev in vloga spola pri tem. Ugotavljali smo, ali v pogovorih obstajajo razlike med moškim in ženskim diskurzom. Prvi del magistrske naloge obravnava teorijo jezika in spola. Drugi del se osredotoča na analizo jezikovnih in komunikacijskih razlik med žensko in moškim v izbranih političnih intervjujih.
