Gender as a linguistic and sociocultural category occupies a central position in contemporary linguistic research. This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of gender mechanisms in the Russian and Uzbek languages, highlighting both their universal and specific features. While Russian belongs to the Indo-European family and has a rich grammatical gender system, Uzbek, as a Turkic language, lacks formal grammatical gender, making the comparison of these systems especially revealing in terms of how different languages encode gender in grammar, vocabulary, and discourse. In recent years, the study of gender in language has gained significant traction, as researchers strive to understand not just grammatical distinctions, but also the broader sociocultural influences that shape language use and identity. The Russian language, for example, classifies nouns, adjectives, and pronouns according to masculine, feminine, and neuter genders, with concord observed throughout the sentence structure. This has a profound impact on how individuals and groups are represented linguistically, reflecting deeper societal norms and values. In contrast, Uzbek does not impose grammatical gender, and instead relies on context, lexical items, or pragmatic cues to signal or reference gender when necessary. Such differences lead to interesting questions regarding the effects of linguistic structure on the perception and communication of gender roles in everyday interactions. Through a systematic comparative approach, this paper seeks to illustrate not only the structural divergences between Russian and Uzbek but also to explore how these linguistic choices reflect and reinforce cultural attitudes toward gender identity and relationships in each society. By examining specific examples from both languages, insights will be drawn as to how the presence or absence of grammatical gender shapes discourse patterns, narrative styles, and even the formation of social expectations around gender. This research employs a comparative-typological approach using both descriptive and analytical methods. The methodology is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis by integrating qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Sources include linguistic corpora, which provide a broad and diverse range of language data; grammar manuals, offering standardized descriptions and theoretical frameworks; spoken language samples collected from a variety of speakers to ensure dialectal and contextual diversity; and 244 Xorijiy lingvistika va lingvodidaktika – Зарубежная лингвистика и лингводидактика – Foreign Linguistics and Linguodidactics Special Issue – 6 (2024) / ISSN 2181-3701 sociolinguistic surveys that provide insight into language usage patterns within different social groups and communities. Analytical categories include the examination of phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and semantic features, as well as pragmatic functions and sociolinguistic variables, to facilitate a holistic understanding of language structures and their use in real communicative contexts. 1. Grammatical gender presence in language systems, including how certain nouns, pronouns, and adjectives are inflected or categorized based on gender distinctions within grammatical structures; 2. Lexical gender markers that appear in vocabulary items, such as specific prefixes, suffixes, or word forms that signal masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, and how these forms may differ across languages; 3. Semantic gender implications, referring to how gender influences the meaning, interpretation, and roles assigned to words and expressions, including anthropomorphization and default gender assignments; 4. Pragmatic and cultural discourse features that involve the use of gendered language in social contexts, examining how gender impacts communication styles, politeness strategies, address terms, and cultural attitudes toward gender expression in both spoken and written discourse Examples are drawn from literature, mass media, and everyday communication, encompassing a wide range of genres, contexts, and platforms to ensure comprehensive representation. Through careful selection, these examples illustrate both common usages and unique instances that shed light on the subject. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative analysis to explore patterns and exceptions, employing methods such as in-
