The issue of adequately reflecting gender in translation is considered a pressing problem at the intersection of linguistics, cultural studies, and social sciences. Translators’ decisions are shaped not only by linguistic structures but also by sociocultural contexts. Gender neutrality, gender equality, and the avoidance of stereotypes are increasingly crucial in translation practice today. This article analyzes the choices and decisions of translators in rendering gender-marked texts, focusing on their responsibility in shaping meaning and interpretation. Drawing on examples from literary and journalistic works, the study demonstrates how male and female representations are translated, which strategies are used for gender-neutral terminology, and how texts are adapted in intercultural communication. The findings suggest that translators, through their decisions, can reinforce both the semantic integrity of the source text and broader principles of gender equality in society. The article offers a research-based perspective aimed at enhancing professional responsibility and gender sensitivity in translation studies and practice.

Prototype-based categorization models lexical membership as graded rather than categorical, with best examples at the center and marginal instances at the periphery (Rosch, 1978; Taylor, 2003). This article argues that…

The article examines the pragmatic mechanics of plurilingualism and language dominance in news translation across English, Russian, and Uzbek outlets. Drawing on audience design, indexing, and framing, it shows how…
This article examines a corpus-based study of the functioning of lexical bundles (chunks) in English-language scientific discourse. The research is based on the academic sub-corpus of COCA, where the most frequent…
The article outlines how cognitive linguistics can be used to investigate the lexicon by foregrounding its core principles and a multi-layered view of the concept as category, unit and structure with a perceptual –…
This paper explores socioterminology as an inquiry into how terms actually live in discourse, contrasting the ideal of one-concept–one-term with the realities of variation, polysemy, metaphorical extension, and…
The article examines how terminological metaphor expands sense inventories and thereby generates polysemy. Building on cognitive metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980), sociocognitive terminology, and the…
The article examines how polysemy and homonymy operate in legal terminology and why the distinction matters for statutory interpretation and legal translation. Regular polysemy – such as court as…
The paper surveys theoretical and computational approaches to regular (systematic) polysemy – recurring, rule-governed sense alternations such as organization/building, content/container, and artifact/information…
