I am interested in looking at the difference in male and female language through the use of technology and if there are any significant differences.

I will collect 10 messages from two boys and two girls picked at random through Facebook messenger and will then pick every third message to avoid bias and so I do not choose data that will support or disprove my hypothesis.

There may be limitations to my chosen data as two men and two women are not representative of the entire population who would use this form of social media.

Mix modality

Emoticons

Non standard English

Non standard punctuation

Images/ videos

Slang

To measure my data I will analyse and count the above techniques and compare if one gender uses more of these than another and analyse the possibilities why this would be.
