%X Sex differences are a topic of perennial interest in our society. But it is not generally understood that most sex differences are the result of social, not biological. In the present article, the differences between women and men are presented from the angle of sociolinguistics. During the analysis, the writer emphasize on the three following aspects: 1) Different diction; 2) Different syntactic approach; 3) Different communicative strategies. We hope that through the study a better understanding of the differences between the genders can be achieved. Linguistic differences are merely a reflection of social differences, and as long as society views women and men as different¡ªand unequal¡ªthen differences in the language of women and men will persist. Key words: gender, sociolinguistics, communicative strategies, syntactic approach R¨¦sum¨¦: La diff¨¦rence de sexe entre les ¨ºtres est un sujet de conversation ¨¦ternel de notre soci¨¦t¨¦. Mais le commun des mortels ne comprennent pas le fait que les origines de cette diff¨¦rence sont d¡¯ordre plut t social que physiologique. Dans l¡¯article pr¨¦sent, l¡¯auteur met l¡¯accent sur trois points : premi¨¨rement, la diff¨¦rence de choix du terme ; deuxi¨¨mement, celle de syntaxe, troisi¨¨mement, celle de technique de communication. Nons esp¨¦ront que nos recherches peuvent contribuer ¨¤ une meilleure connaissance de la diff¨¦rence de sexes. La diff¨¦rence langagi¨¨re n¡¯est qu¡¯un miroir de la diff¨¦rence sociale. Tant que nons voient les femmes et les hommes d¡¯un oeil diff¨¦rent ou in¨¦gal, cette diff¨¦rence de langue subsistera pour toujours. Mots-Cl¨¦s: sexe, linguistique sociale, moyen de communication, syntaxe
