The aim of this paper is to examine language data with regard to potential differences between male and female registers. Corpus linguistics is used as a basic methodological approach (mostly quantitative) to the topic and the Hanku corpus, more particularly the sub-corpus Litchi, are used as the primary source of language data. The data are presented in the form of tables together with a brief analysis. The results indicate a considerable variation between male vs. female registers in some areas – lexicon, part-of-speech proportion etc. However in other areas (e.g. prosody) there exists no deviation at all. These indicators of variation will be subject of further, more detailed research.
