Abstract

This article analyzes the concept of gendered speech and its linguistic foundations based on modern linguistic approaches. The study examines the factors influencing the formation of gendered speech, as well as the linguistic features characteristic of male and female speech, including pragmatic and discursive differences, from a scientific perspective. The research employs sociolinguistic analysis, discourse analysis, comparative-linguistic methods, and a pragmatic approach. The results demonstrate that gendered speech is closely connected with socio-cultural factors and that systematic differences exist within linguistic units. The conclusions contribute to enriching ongoing research in the field of gender linguistics.
