Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive linguocultural analysis of gender representation in language systems, examining how linguistic structures both reflect and perpetuate gender ideologies. Drawing on contemporary research in sociolinguistics and gender studies, the study investigates multiple dimensions of gendered language, including lexical asymmetry, paremiological patterns, metaphorical representations, and feminist linguistic reforms. The analysis reveals persistent mechanisms of gender stereotyping across various linguistic levels, demonstrating how language functions as both a mirror of existing social norms and an active agent in their reproduction. Special attention is given to the cognitive and cultural dimensions of gender marking in language, as well as to contemporary efforts to develop more inclusive linguistic practices. The findings underscore the complex relationship between language and gender identity construction, highlighting the need for continued critical examination of linguistic patterns in the context of evolving social gender norms.
