Abstract
This study aims at finding out whether there are any gender-based differences in the use of external modification devices in request by native speakers of Iraqi non-standard Arabic. The data is collected by means of DCTs (discourse completion tasks). The subjects are Iraqi students and all of them are native speakers of Iraqi non-standard Arabic representing both males and females. The result shows that there are differences between Iraqi males and females in the rate of frequencies of the external modification devices. The results are discussed , analyzed and pedagogical implications are highlighted.
