Abstract

The article describes gender linguistics as a dynamic and interdisciplinary field, explores the intricate relationship between language and gender, uncovering the sociolinguistic, cultural, and psychological dimensions of gendered communication. This paper delves into the theoretical foundations of gender linguistics, focusing on its evolution, conceptual frameworks, and key approaches. Grounded in feminist theory, sociolinguistics, and discourse analysis, gender linguistics investigates how language reflects, constructs, and reinforces gender identities and power relations in diverse socio-cultural contexts. By synthesizing theoretical perspectives and empirical studies, this article underscores the importance of gender linguistics in promoting equitable communication and challenging linguistic stereotypes. It advocates for further exploration of emerging trends, such as digital discourse and multilingual gender expression, to expand the scope of gender linguistics in a globalized world.
