Efficacité féminine, courtoisie masculine. La durée inégale des appels téléphoniques mixtes

This article draws on a corpus of telephone calls in order to investigate differences in the length of mixed conversations. Calls made by men to women are longer than those from women to men. It is during the opening of the conversation that the most marked difference can be detected between the behaviour of men and women callers. This difference, which applies to mixed calls only, is the key to the rest of the conversation
