Abstract
The study explores the gender features in linguistics as an emerging interdisciplinary field that connects
language studies with sociology and psychology. It examines the linguistic expressions of femininity and
masculinity, highlighting how gender is reflected in speech behavior and discourse. The research emphasizes
that both spoken and written texts can serve as valuable materials for analyzing gendered communication.
The paper also discusses the relationship between discourse and text, arguing that discourse encompasses
broader communicative and cognitive processes, while text represents one of its manifestations. By focusing
on the interaction between language, gender, and discourse, the study provides insights into how male and
female speech differs in structure, content, and stylistic choice.
