<p>The relevance of this study is conditioned by the fact that the study of languages in the comparative aspect contributes to the identification of common and specific features of linguistic material, the description of the national picture of the world, cognitive thinking, linguocultural features of native speakers, interaction and mutual enrichment of languages, the solution of linguistic and linguodidactic tasks, which is part of the modern system of linguistic research. The category of gender, being one of the most complex and universal grammatical characteristics, is a subject of close attention of linguists. The importance of its study is conditioned by the need for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of the grammatical and lexical-semantic potential of this category in languages with different structures. In modern linguistics, research in this area focuses on cognitive, gender and functional aspects of the category of gender. This study aims to examine the category of gender from the point of view of its grammatical and lexical-semantic realization in differently structured English, Tatar and Russian languages. This paper considers the formation of gender category of some nouns, reflects the system of morphological, syntactic and lexical features of feminine, masculine and middle genders in the languages under consideration. The article gives the specificity of representation of this category by lexical and grammatical means of languages, analyses morphological and semantic ways of nouns' relation to grammatical gender. In the paper a comparative analysis is carried out, the general and specific features of this category are determined on the basis of the languages under study. The results of the analysis can be used in further linguistic research, as well as in teaching a foreign language with reference to the native and/or previously learnt foreign language.</p>

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the latest anglicisms (English borrowings) with the meaning of person. The emergence of such lexemes in the Russian language is caused by proper linguistic reasons as well as the global changes in the political and economic life of the country in general and in the socio-cultural sphere of every person’s activity. With the onset of the 21st century in Russia, there comes a time of a new generation of young people called "millennials". They have formed original trajectories for the development of society and its mentality. The collected linguistic units are a verbal illustration of the reality at the beginning of the third millennium, i. e. the time when the examined borrowings appeared in the Russian language. The empirical data was obtained from "glossy" periodicals, namely publications in Russian printed over the last five years. Such magazines are a platform for an intensive transfer of borrowings, including numerous person-denoting nouns. The paper aims to classify the data according to the thematic principle, to characterise the collected units from the standpoint of semantics, morphology, and graphics. Finally, the purpose is to present a generalised linguo-sociological picture of the new generation of Russians – the millennial generation. To achieve the objectives, the method of continuous sampling of the empirical data was used. The gathered linguistic material was interpreted with the help of synchronic analysis taking into consideration the descriptive, classification, and contextual ways of presenting the obtained results. The performed analysis has shown that the latest person-denoting nouns mainly appear in the virtual linguistic space, in the segments of the beauty and fashion-industry, business, labour market, mass media, show business, tourism, and others. Many linguistic units name new sociocultural phenomena characterising the "millennial generation". However, excessive borrowings constitute a significant vocabulary layer. These words have native equivalents and are used in glossy magazines for stylistic marking, making texts sound more "cosmopolitan", for prestige and other purposes.
