| Summary: | The purpose of this research was to elicit experimentally evaluative reactions to female
and male Hong Kong English speakers among China university students by using “verbal�guise technique”. Two one-minute recordings depicting a plan of the underground
facilities of a museum were recorded by two speakers in their own words. 30 English
major students from a university in Shandong Province of China rated the two recordings
on the bipolar semantic scale with 16 adjectives. Data analysis shows that the evaluation
of male recorder overally is higher than that of female recorder. The students gave more
positive evaluations to the speaker of the same sex as themselves |
