Гендерная асимметрия в обозначениях социальных ролей в русском языке в аспекте восприятия

This paper describes some problems of the gender “asymmetry” of Russian from the point of view of perception and understanding. The double sense of many sentences in Russian and their potential misunderstanding caused by the use of male gender words which reference women can also cause extralinguistic problems. The paper deals with both linguistic and social issues which are closely connected with each other, especially in the gender area.
