Annotation

This paper examines gender differences in the use of personal pronouns in Taiwanese televised sports. It is found that male sports reporters use the second-person singular pronoun 'ni' more frequently than female sports reporters and that there is a significant difference in the distribution of 'ni' 's pragmatic functions between men's and women's sports reporting.
