FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF GENDER LINGUISTICS

This article analyzes the formation and developmental stages of gender linguistics from historical and theoretical perspectives. In the course of the research, the interrelation between gender and language is examined based on sociolinguistic, pragmalinguistic, and linguocultural approaches. The key stages in the development of gender linguistics—namely the period of biological determinism, the stage of feminist linguistics, and modern discursive approaches—are consistently analyzed. The results of the study demonstrate that gendered speech is closely interconnected with social roles and stereotypes in society.
