Abstract
Sex and the City, aired by HBO Films, is a comic film about the lives of four heroines, and women’s talk is one of the most attractive features of this film. Taking Lakoff’s analysis of women’s language and Leech’s politeness principle as the analytical framework, this thesis takes lines of Sex and the City as research object and analyzes the female language features in it. Methodologically speaking, the author conducts qualitative analysis as well as quantitative analysis to the distributions and frequencies of characters’ language in Sex and the City. Through careful analyses of the selected language materials, the author finds that in the lexical level, women consciously tend to use more adjectives and hedges; from the syntactical level, women are prone to use tag questions and indirect requests to show their politeness.

The previous researches on language and gender have found some features of women’s language in the aspects of lexicon, syntax and pragmatics.
