ФЕМИНИТИВЫ, НАЗЫВАЮЩИЕ ЛИЦ ПО ВОЗРАСТУ В ПОЭЗИИ МАРЛЕНЫ РАХЛИНОЙ

Currently, the gender component of the gender category attracts the attention of not only linguists, but also sociolinguists. Linguistic and creative needs are realized through the use of feminitives, both in colloquial speech and in poetry. The term feminatives (or feminitives) is used in relation to female derivatives of male names of professions, positions and titles.
The purpose of our study is to describe the functioning of feminitives in the lyrics by Marlena Rakhlina, a poetess-innovator and experimenter in the field of grammar phenomena of the second half of the 20th century. The article deals with feminitive formations that have age-related semantics. They represent the word-building line of grammar units with the help of certain feminine suffixes, which form the gradation of their lexical meanings and create a stylistic effect. These words enter into opposition with other feminitives, naming females by age. Among the feminitives that indicate age semantics, there are both linguistic units and occasional ones, created consciously for the purpose of expression.
