• galego

  Estudios procedentes de disciplinas e teorías diversas constataron que as diferencias entre homes e mulleres afectan a practicamente tódolos aspectos da súa personalidade. Moitos destes estudios comprobaron que, en relación coa linguaxe, se constatan diferencias máis ou menos profundas relacionadas con catro dimensións dos individuos: a dimensión biolóxica, a psicolóxica, a cultural e a social. Neste traballo centrámonos nunha perspectiva que podemos denominar "cultural con base biolóxica" e poñémola a proba nun estudio sobre a ambigüidade verbal producida pola ausencia do pronome yo 'eu'en dúas zonas urbanas das Illas Canarias

  Studies stemming from very diverse disciplines and theories have found that the differences between men and women affect practically all the aspects of their personalities. Many of these studies have discovered that with regard to language quite large differences have been found. These are related to four facets of the individual: biological, psychological, cultural and social. In this paper, we concentrate on a point of view which we could refer to as 'cultural with a biological base'and we examine this in a study of the verbal ambiguity produced by the absence of the pronoun yo 'I'in two urban areas of the Canary Islands
