Abstract

The article reveals gender stereotypes which are cultural and socially grounded thoughts about the characteristics, attributes and norms of behavior of representatives of both sexes and their reflection in the language. The reproduction of the integral gender identity in the target text presupposes the preservation of the original ratio of feminine and masculine characteristics of the author’s linguistic personality, which ensures the adequacy of the translation in the context of gender reading.
