Abstract
Aim. To identify gender stereotypes represented both by a single word and a complex utterance in detective novels by male authors based on the material of German and Russian languages.
Methodology. The study was conducted using a descriptive method, as well as through linguistic analysis using continuous sampling method to identify and interpret gender stereotypes in Russian and German linguistic cultures.
Results. In the course of the study, gender stereotypes have been identified that influence perceptions of the roles of men and women in society. The analysis showed how the authors create and maintain gender stereotypes, emphasizing the differences between the expectations and reality of men and women in their behavior and character.
Research implications. The research results can be applied in teaching such academic disciplines as text interpretation, comparative linguistics, theory of international communication, and culture studies. Furthermore, the data obtained complements and expands the information on gender linguistics and stylistics in contemporary language studies.
