GENDER PERCEPTION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the recipients' comprehension of scientific texts from the point of view of the gender aspect. Gender stereotypes are considered as models and schemes of perception of a scientific text generated by men and women. The content of the term "linguistic gender" is revealed, through which psychosocial linguistic characteristics of a person or gender linguistic personality, which, in turn, means a certain stereotypical model, are described. The necessity of the methodological development of the gender problem from the point of view of understanding its biological, social, linguistic aspects is emphasized. The mechanisms of “ascribing” gender characteristics to the author of the text are described; at the same time, the recipients “ascribe” gender, projecting the features of their consciousness onto the external and internal form of the text.
