Дослідження гендерного компонента при словотворенні та структуруванні фразеологічних одиниць сучасної англійської мови

Abstract

In the context of the scientific paradigm-changing in social science linguistic studies of different language levels occupy a special place. The article deals with the linguistic phenomena from an anthropocentric point of view. The need to determine the self-identity of a human being, his social conditionality and the social construction of the article is manifested in the formation and application of gender terminology. Using the methods of linguistic and cultural analysis, observation and generalization, and the descriptive method, the authors of the article highlight the features of the representation of the gender component. Much attention is paid to the description of new (word-forming) means of gender representation, in particular the affix method, the word-forming model he-friend / she-friend, gender-labelled and gender-unlabelled model. Regarding the identification of the gender component in phraseological units, gender asymmetry is emphasised – the dominance of representations of idioms of masculine professions and those that emphasize the physical and mental abilities of men.
