SOME FEATURES OF REFLECTION OF GENDER STEREOTYPING PROCESSES IN RUSSIAN AND GERMAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article is dedicated to consideration of the specifics of objectification of gender stereotypes in the Russian and German languages within the opposition “man – woman” based on the material of newspaper texts. Comparison with the German language is of interest due to the extended nature of this opposition (the extension is noted within the component “woman”: “Mann – Frau / Weib”). The relevance of the work is determined primarily by the interdisciplinary nature of gender issues. Similarities and differences in the process of actualization of gender stereotypes in the Russian and German languages are established. In both languages, the frequency of negative characteristics of men is noted, the differences are noted mainly within the framework of the concept of “woman”, which is gender-marked. A conclusion is made about the advisability of using newspaper texts as illustrative material in lexicographic practice when describing gender stereotypes.
