THE TERM GENDER AND ITS DERIVATIVES AS THE CORE OF THE GENDER LINGUISTICS TERMINOLOGY SYSTEM

Abstract

Over the past decades, gender studies have been developed rapidly in the world and national linguistics, resulting in a number of new sciences, including gender linguistics. Today, the research is continuing in two directions: 1) language and gender reflection in it; 2) the specifics of male and female speech.
The primary task is to distinguish the body of basic terms, which is complicated, firstly, by the multidisciplinary nature of gender studies in general, and secondly, the presence of numerous areas within the gender linguistics itself.
All the analyzed terms were removed from manuals for educational institutions, scientific works, and partially the dictionaries related to gender issues in general were used, since the branch vocabulary has not been concludedyet.
It is emphasized that the concept of gender a priori can be qualified as a purely linguistic category, but this token is a generative basis for many synthetic terms, which in their turn are the components of analytical nominations of the terminological system of gender linguistics.
Among the one-word terms, two units have been recorded. The rest are the terminological phrases, which can be divided into two groups. The first contains two, two-, three-, and four-component terminological phrases with an adjective gender, formed by transterminalization. The second group consists of terminological phrases, one of the components of which is a complex adjective with the basis of gender-. The differences in the writing of such nominations are recorded, which is a testify to the imperfection and disorderly nature of the analyzed terminology.
It is stressed that all the consideredterms constitute the core of the gender linguistics terminological system, and they should become the basis for putting together a modern terminology dictionary of this scientific direction.
