Abstract: Because of its unique characteristics, Netspeak has been a hotspot of sociolinguistics. But most of the studies are conducted on Netspeak with English as language materials. Under the guidance of the theoretical framework of the principles of conversational analysis, this paper tries to explore the gender differences of college students in Chinese Netspeak from four variables; they are the topic selection, the speech amount, the minimal responses and the turn-taking. According to this paper, both men and women prefer to talk about less serious issues; contrary to the situation in traditional face-to-face communication, this paper confirms that men produce a bit larger amount of speech than women in Netspeak and it is men who use more minimal responses; according to the average frequency of discontinuous expressions of each gender, there still exists the male domination in conversation, even in on-line conversation.

摘要：网络语言因其自己的特点，已成为社会语言学家研究的热点，但许多针对网络聊天语中男女会话的性别差异的研究所用的语料大多是英文。本文试图在会话分析理论指导下，基于中国大学生网络会话语料，通过分析中国大学生在网络交际中话题选择、话语数量、简短回复、话轮转换方面的不同来了解中国大学生在网络会话风格上所体现出来的性别差异。研究发现：在话题选择上，在网络会话聊天中男女大学生并无很明显差异，他们都偏向于谈论轻松的话题；与面对面会话相反的是，网络会话聊天中男性的话语量反而远大于女性，并且男性会更多地使用简短回复语以作为支持性反馈；男女大学生的不连贯表达的频率进一步地揭示出在网络交际中，男性在谈话过程中多占主导地位,他们比女性获得更多的发言机会并控制谈话内容和进程。
