NOTION SEXISM IN THE TERMINOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF HUMANITARISTICS AND GENDER LINGUISTICS

Abstract

The language functions in the sociological context and creates different types of its` correlation with the main social institutions, connected with the actualization of the gender and sexism problem. These notions are reflected in the language, being actively studied in the sphere of gender linguistics, which is considered to be one of the main spheres in the system of humanitaristics. Gender linguistics has the status of a new linguistic branch, which brought a lot of underinvestigated problems. This research is dedicated to the studying of interpretation peculiarities of such terms as sexism and sexism in language in the modern scientific discourse, especially in the linguistic one. The interpretation of these terms and the definitions, fixed in dictionaries of terms and a thesaurus, are singled out on the different stages of the actualized problem for the analysis. The interpretation of such terms as sexism and sexism in language with their correlated notions are highlighted here. Two different approaches of sexism interpretation are observed, being widespread among the representatives of feminism in linguistics. The actualization of sexism is highlighted by the corresponding verbal and non-verbal means. Attained results and conclusions will help us to create a special terminological dictionary of gender linguistics.
