This article presents a profound linguoculturological analysis of gender characteristics in Uzbek artistic discourse. The study encompasses a wide range of literary works by Uzbek authors, including M. Osim, Shuhrat, S. Siyoev and S. Karomatov. The main focus is placed on analyzing the usage of gender-marked and unmarked lexemes, as well as the specificity of denoting gender characteristics in the absence of grammatical gender in the Uzbek language. The article extensively examines examples of cognate lexemes, such as "adib - adiba," "shoir - shoira," and explores their gender connotations.
