Summary/Abstract: Existing and often studied in recent times gender stereotypes include linguistic phenomena attributed to women or men. At the same time, it was noticed that the real behavior of women and men may differ from the stereotypical pattern and affect the change in the perception of gender. In the article we recall selected components of the stereotypical language of women, and discuss the talkative behaviour of women dealing with historical re-enactment in Poland.
