GENDER CONCEPTS IN LINGUISTICS: THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE CONCEPT “WOMAN”
Khudaybergenova, Shakhnoza
Annotatsiya
This article examines the concept of “woman” as a multidimensional construct in modern linguistics within anthropocentric paradigms. It explores how gender, understood as a socio-cultural rather than purely biological category, is represented, constructed, and negotiated through language. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches—including cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and linguoculturology—the paper analyzes theoretical frameworks such as feminist linguistics, dominance and difference theories, and prototype theory. Special attention is given to linguistic asymmetries, gender stereotypes, and the evolution of gender-neutral language. The research demonstrates that the concept of “woman” is dynamic, culturally specific, and embedded in systems of social relations and power. Ultimately, the study highlights the crucial role of language in shaping gender identities and reflecting broader cultural and ideological processes.
