research on Instant messaging - i need your help :)

[karissi]

Hi there,

I'm a student on English Linguistics and I'm doing a research project on gender discourse in instant messaging for my BA thesis!

I want to find out whether women are using a different style of chatting than men do. Therefore I need to collect some data!

Who could help me with that?

I need 10 men and 10 women who can send me the protocoll of *one* conversation via instant messanging with a friend.
(men to men, women to women).
Of course, this is anynomous, names, adresses etc can be crossed out.

If you are interested, please let me know!
Thaaaanks a lot
