Abstract


This paper collects and presents various approaches of formulating gender-neutral language in accordance with the gender principles and recommendations used for this work. There is a lot of discussion among modern researchers about approaches to ensure gender parity in language, namely the expediency of such trends as feminization or neutralization of languages. Therefore, the process of achieving gender equality in the language, which does not stop at the moment, has a number of its own features and is a rather contradictory phenomenon.
