Abstract	The study of gendered speech patterns has been intriguing linguists for decades now. But, despite the fact that Russians have made significant contributions to the field of linguistics, the subject of gendered language has not been adequately researched. This thesis represents a contribution to this domain. By understanding the traditional aspects of a language and the fundamental gender roles within a society, one should also be able to understand the role that gendered language undertakes during communication.
