This article is devoted to an in-depth study of the topic "Factors expressing belonging in discourse in linguistics: gender, social stratification and cultural context". The article analyzes, from the point of view of linguistics, the concept of belonging and its role in the communicative process. It examines how belonging is formed in communication between people, how gender roles, social stratification and cultural context can influence this process. The article first of all covers the theoretical foundations of the concept of belonging, and then analyzes the ways in which gender and social stratification factors are reflected in discourse. Gender roles, for example, differences in communication between men and women, and their expression through language are considered. Social stratification, in turn, determines the positions of people from different social classes in communication. The importance of cultural context is also given special attention. It analyzes how the ways in which belonging is expressed in different cultures can differ, as well as the role of traditions and values in the communicative process. This study helps to clarify the connection between social identity and role through language and communication, and also serves to understand the complexity of communication in modern society. The results of the article provide valuable information for researchers in the fields of linguistics, psychology and sociology and may open new directions for future research. It is also expected that this study will be useful in discussions on issues of social justice and equality.
