Chapter 8 - Are Women Really More Talkative Than Men? - Exploring the Text: Mehl’s research has proved to be of interest to a wider, nonspecialist audience. What rhetorical strategies does he employ in this article to make it accessible to readers who are not professional psychologists or linguists without diluting the research itself?

See, for instance, “Stereotypes of Quiet Men, Chatty Women Not Sound Science” from the Washington Post; “Study: Women Don’t Talk More Than Men” from ABC News; and “Men ‘No Less Chatty than Women’” from BBC News.
