GENDER - RELATED VOCABULARY IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES: A COMPARATIVE LINGUACULTURAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper offers a comparative analysis of gender-related vocabulary in English and Russian from a linguocultural perspective, seeking to investigate how language choices reflect and influence societal views on gender. By analyzing lexical terms related to social roles, careers, and gender stereotypes, the study uncovers both similarities and differences in how these two languages represent gender distinctions. The research emphasizes the relationship between language, culture, and social understanding, illustrating how linguistic frameworks and word choices play a role in shaping gender identities. The results provide valuable insights into cross-cultural interactions, sociolinguistics, and the impact of language on gendered perspectives.
