This article explores the linguistic representation of gender in the Uzbek language. It focuses on how gender is reflected in linguistic units, including gendered word forms, the use of specific terms for males and females, and grammatical as well as semantic tools. Drawing on the views of various scholars, the paper examines whether Uzbek is a gender-neutral language or one that reflects gender distinctions. The study also includes a comparative analysis of gender expression in Uzbek and other languages such as Russian and English. Keywords: Gender, Uzbek language, linguistics, grammatical gender, semantics, gender neutrality, language and society.
