Cases of Equivalence in The Translation of Gender Lexical Units in English and Uzbek

Abstract

Throughout the ages, the topic of gender has consistently been a subject of discussions and debates. The differences between the concepts of sex and gender are not only based on biological factors but also stem from non-biological reasons. These differences are mainly reflected through the concept of gender, highlighting the psychological, cultural, and social distinctions between men and women. The object of study and research subject of gender linguistics is linguistic materials that represent gender in various languages and cultures. These materials manifest in human communication processes, the expressive language of literary works, or their translation. This article presents thoughts on the equivalence of gender-related lexical units in the translation of literary works between English and Uzbek.
