Abstract

This article explores the intricate relationship between linguistics and cultural anthropology to elucidate the complex dynamics of gender roles within Georgian society. Employing a multidisciplinary framework, the research aims to uncover the ways in which linguistic structures and cultural practices intersect to shape and perpetuate gender norms and expectations.

The significance of this study lies in its potential to contribute meaningfully to both theoretical discussions and practical interventions aimed at advancing gender equality. The following points highlight the relevance of this research:

  • Investigating gender roles within the specific cultural context of Georgia enhances cultural sensitivity.
  • By integrating linguistics with cultural anthropology, this study offers a comprehensive understanding of how culture and language collaboratively influence gender roles.
  • This study can serve as a benchmark for comparative analysis with other cultural contexts, enhancing cross-cultural understandings of gender diversity. By highlighting the unique gender dynamics in Georgia, enables a broader examination of global gender experiences.
  • The research advances theoretical frameworks in linguistics, cultural anthropology, and gender studies by illustrating how these fields can mutually inform one another. It paves the way for future theoretical exploration in these intersecting areas.

This study employs an interdisciplinary approach that integrates linguistics and cultural anthropology. The research methodology is designed to capture the nuances of how these two domains interact and contribute to the construction and reinforcement of gender norms.
