Geschlechtsmarker Deutscher texte: lexikalische Merkmale der Reden von Ukrainischen und Deutschen Politikern

Abstract

The gender approach in various social sciences acquires special relevance, especially when studying the processes that take place in society and are reflected in the language structure of a particular society. According to this approach, there are currently many discrepancies between the behavior of men and women, their worldview, as well as their speeches. These reasons became the basis for the creation of gender linguistics, a component of which is feminist linguistics. The article analyzes statements made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht in German journals, individual publications and interviews. Gender is understood as a system of relations and interactions that form a fundamental component of social ties.
