This is an automatically translated description

 The monograph examines the manifestations of androcentrism in the languages of patriarchal and post-patriarchal societies as one of the landmarks in the system of linguistic coordinates I AM HERE; NOW, which is one of the leading principles of organisation of the grammatical and word-formation levels of languages with a pronounced gender category, as well as a rather noticeable phenomenon in the structuring of lexical-semantic and phraseological-paradigmatic levels and in the construction of texts, and its ambiguous perception in modern society. With the development of society and the transformation of social mentality, especially since the twentieth century, the effect of this principle began to experience certain limitations, which was quite clearly manifested in the formation of feminist (gender) linguistics in the last decades of the twentieth century with the aim of systematically eliminating (weakening) manifestations of linguistic discrimination against women. Different European languages show different levels of activity in this regard - under the influence of both social and linguistic factors. However, under any scenario of the development of the situation with the achievement of gender equality, numerous and diverse traces of linguistic patriarchy in the structures of the languages of the peoples of European civilisation, in particular in the Slavic and Romance languages, will undoubtedly remain, although, of course, in a weakened form.

 For linguists - scholars and teachers, students of philology and a wide range of those interested in the problems of functioning and development of modern European languages.
