GENDER ISSUES IN LINGUISTICS

Abstract

The concept of "gender" entered the modern linguistic paradigm much later than other humanities, namely in the second half of this century. Initially, work in this area arose in the West and the first systemic descriptions of male and female characteristics of speech and language were made on the basis of languages ​​from Germanic and Romance language groups. As for our domestic linguistics, the first regular studies on this subject began to be carried out only in the late 80s and early 90s.
