| Open Access | THE ROLE OF PHONETIC AND INTONATIONAL MEANS IN THE FORMATION OF GENDER REPRESENTATIONS
Chernova Natalya Vasilevna , Researcher, Namangan State Institute of Foreign LanguagesAbstract
this article explores the influence of phonetic and intonational features of speech on the construction and perception of gender representations. Drawing from phonetics, sociolinguistics, and gender studies, the study examines how variations in pitch, tone, articulation, and speech patterns contribute to the social encoding of gender identities. The findings highlight the complex interplay between linguistic sound systems and socio-cultural gender norms, offering insights into how voice characteristics reinforce or challenge traditional gender roles.
Keywords
