This study concerns on women’s linguistic features and linguistic behaviors produced by a female host in The Ellen Show in same-gender and cross-gender conversations. This study aims at explaining the types of women’s linguistic features proposed by Lakoff (1975) and the types of linguistic behaviors proposed by Nordenstam (1992) found in female host’s speech in The Ellen Show, on January 26th, 2018. This study employs descriptive qualitative design as the research design. Further, observation through note-taking technique is conducted to obtain the data with the writer as the key instrument. The data collection and data analysis is using Cresswell’s (2014) general inductive model of analysis. The data of this study are taken from Ellen’s speeches in two conversations (female-female and female-male) with the topic “Wishing a happy birthday for Ellen’s 60th birthday”. The study shows that: (a) Ellen produced 18 lexical hedges and fillers, 3 rising intonation on declarative, 1 empty adjective, 8 intensifiers, 6 hypercorrect grammars, and 12 emphatic stresses in same-gender conversation; while in mix-gender conversation, she produced 33 lexical hedges or fillers, 2 rising intonation on declaratives, 4 empty adjectives, 5 intensifiers, 11 hypercorrect grammars, 2 super polite forms and 9 emphatic stresses; (b) In same gender conversation, Ellen produced 25 linguistic behaviors: 7 topic raisings, 6 interruptions or simultaneous speeches and 12 minimal responses; while In cross-gender conversation, Ellen raised new topics 9 times, interrupted or overlapped 2 times and produced back-channel 9 times. The findings above imply that the gender of the interlocutors influences the way how the speaker produces linguistic features and linguistic behaviors. Keywords: Women’s linguistic feature, linguistic behavior, same-gender conversation, mix-gender conversation, The Ellen Show
