GENDER PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

This article examines the evolving linguistic norms shaped by sociocultural changes, particularly the growing emphasis on gender inclusivity and non-binary representation in language. A semantic analysis of gendered units enables the identification of implicit biases, asymmetries, and stereotypes embedded within linguistic structures, thereby supporting efforts to mitigate gender-based discrimination in communication. Furthermore, the study offers insights into the diachronic evolution of language, illustrating how gendered expressions have transformed over time in response to shifting societal dynamics.
