Abstract
The paper designs a basic vocabulary sequencing model and explores the differences in basic vocabulary output between male and female. It is found that male and female have obvious preferences in choosing needed vocabulary. Males are sensitive to numbers and concerned about the world issues, while females show dependence on living and learning environment and evaluation of their mood. Moreover, men tend to output abstract vocabulary, thinking about issues relatively macro. On the contrary, women tend to output specific vocabulary, consider things relatively micro. At the same time, there are also obvious differences between male and female in kinship terms and personal pronouns. Male and female give priority to the output of kinship terms with the same sex, but male give priority to the output of personal pronouns before female. The study reveals the differences in Chinese vocabulary output among learners of different genders.
