According to Arliss (1991: 50), Harding (1975: 106), Haas & Sherman (1982: 49), Wardhaugh (1998: 316), Yelkenac (2001), Hultgren (2003), Scollon (2000), in a conversation male and female speakers have stereotyped topics to discuss. It happens because they have differences in seeing the world. In this study, the writer intends to know the male or female domination in the cross-sex conversation. This research tries to prove whether there are any relationships between topics of conversation stereotypically related to males/females and male/female domination. This study is a qualitative research. The writer recorded the conversation of the students of Faculty of Letters in Soegijapranata Catholic University who were in the OAC of Faculty of Letters Soegijapranata Catholic University. After that the recordings were transcribed to get the data. The result of the analysis shows that female speakers tend to dominate all the male’s topics.
