The researcher discovered that women speakers in Ted Talks employed seven sorts of female language features, such as lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, rising intonation on declaratives, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, and super polite forms, as the study's final conclusion. The researchers also discovered the language functions employed by women speakers in Ted Talk, such as directive, expressive, referential, metalinguistic, and phatic. However, the researcher found no language features or functions exclusive to women that were not employed by women speakers in Ted Talks, such as exact color descriptors, avoidance of harsh swear words, and emphatic stress. The poetic function is a language function that women speakers in Ted Talks do not employ.
