Modern gender studies: comparison of "gender stereotype" and "linguocultural type" concepts.

Abstract

The article deals with a comparative analysis of “gender stereotype” and “linguocultural type” concepts correlation as far as they are the basic units for linguocultural and gender studies. Special attention is drawn to the determination of characteristic features of these two key terms according to the works of modern scholars. The theory of linguocultural types that synthesizes the achievements of linguistics, literature, sociology, psychology, gender and cultural studies develops the theory of linguistic personality in the system of humanities, therefore the notion of "linguocultural type" as a specified personality, meaningful to a particular culture, correlates with such concepts as “type”, “sociocultural type”, "gender stereotype", etc. in the latest scientific paradigms, in particular, in gender and linguocultural studies. The study of linguistic phenomena in an inextricable connection with the outlook of the whole linguistics as well as of an individual as a member of this world has made the issue of a gender stereotype, a basic concept of genderology, very important. Gender stereotypes as part of national socio-cultural stereotypes embody masculine / feminine peculiarities of the world view, providing a source of information about the national gender linguistic culture. The gender stereotype as well as the linguocultural type is characterized by an appreciation due to which both the stereotype and the type create a system of value benchmarks in society but, unlike a gender stereotype, a linguocultural type does not depend on any gender characteristics of a person that could differentiate it.
