Keywords:
Gender, linguistic category, language and society, gender semantics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, communication strategies, language evolution, discourse analysis.Abstract
The concept of gender in linguistics has undergone significant evolution, reflecting social, cultural, and communicative changes across different historical periods. This study examines the theoretical foundations, developmental stages, and major trends in the formation of gender as a linguistic category. Particular attention is given to the interaction between language, social identity, and communicative behavior. The research highlights how gender-related meanings emerge in lexical, grammatical, and pragmatic structures and how modern linguistic approaches reinterpret these meanings in line with contemporary sociocultural realities. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of gender representation in language and the methodological principles for its investigation.
