Discourse analysis includes such types of speech
activities as speaking, listening, reading and writing, i.e. through
this analysis it is possible to analyze dialogic, monologue texts,
natural speech, any type of texts in terms of genre. Discourse
analysis is usually connected to psychological (cognitive,
cultural-historical), linguistic (grammatical, textological,
stylistic), semiotic (semantic, syntactic, pragmatic), philosophical
(structuralist, poststructuralist, deconstructivist), logical
(argumentative and analytical), informational-communicative
and rhetorical approaches. In this manuscript, we have explored
the style of male and female folkloric text through various stylistic
means. As a research method, we used the discourse analysis
proposed by S. Mills.
For many years, the use of the term “discourse” in textual
research has become a tradition. Research on language and
discourse relations is becoming as popular research on language
and gender relations. However, the analysis of feminist and
masculine discourse in linguistics is still minor for political and
social reasons. This manuscript examines the style of the English,
Italian and Uzbek folklore texts through gender based and
functional stylistics. Undoubtedly, folklore texts are passed
colloquially through words, they have neither narrator nor writer,
so different folklore texts have been analyzed according to the
gender of collectors of the three nations.
The creation of a special categorical apparatus in the field of
gender stylistics requires the introduction of “gender style” and
“gender stylization”. Gender methodology is based on the
author's gender characteristics, speech. Gender style varies
depending on the gender change of the author and falls into a
certain patterns. The plot and content structure of any type of text
depends on the gender of the author or subject of the speech.
