The article examines gender as a socio-linguistic category formed, expressed, and reproduced through language and discourse. Gender is analyzed not as a biological constant but as a socially constructed phenomenon shaped by communicative practices, cultural norms, and institutional contexts. Special attention is paid to lexical, pragmatic, and stylistic features of male and female speech, as well as to the variability and contextual dependence of gendered language behavior. The study also considers forensic linguistic applications of gender analysis, including the identification of gender imitation in written discourse. The research demonstrates that gender distinctions in language function as tendencies rather than rigid boundaries and are influenced by social roles, professional affiliation, and cultural expectations.
