Abstract

This article examines the complex relationship between gender and 
language in the field of psycholinguistics. The study examines the impact of gender 
identity on linguistic processes, speech activity, and cognitive characteristics through a  literature review. The article analyzes the linguistic features of male and female speech, 
the impact of gender stereotypes on language structure, and the role of sociocultural 
factors. The results show that gender has a significant impact not only on lexical and 
grammatical structures, but also on pragmatic and discursive strategies. The relationship 
between gender and language manifests itself differently depending on the national and 
cultural context. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the importance of gender identity 
in linguistic research and the need for further in-depth research in this area.
