ГЕНДЕРНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ МЕЖКУЛЬТУРНОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ
The gender differences in behaviour, socialisation, and intercultural
communication between males and females have social and cultural significance and are regularly
discussed in sociological, anthropological, ethnopsychological studies. Unlike the category of sexus,
the status of genders and, correspondingly, gender hierarchy and gender-based models of behaviour
are not based in biology but are constituted by society (doing gender), prescribed by the instituted
of social control and cultural traditions. Gender relationships form an important aspect of social
organization and intercultural communication. The principal theoretical and methodological
standpoints of the concept of gender are based in four related components, i.e., 1) cultural symbols,
2) normative statements used for interpretations in religious, scientific, and legal discourse, 3) social
institutes and organisations, and, finally, 4) personality self-identification. Gender relationships are
conserved by language in the form of cultural stereotypes, forming an imprint on the behaviour,
intercultural communication, as well as linguistic socialisation of individuals.
