Gender-Neutral Language Strategies in Translating Human Rights Discourse: Pragmatic and Cognitive Approach

This article deals with the issues based on analyzing the gender-neutral language strategies in translating human rights discourse from pragmatic and cognitive perspectives. Human rights texts are expected to promote equality, dignity, and non-discrimination; therefore, the translation of gender-related expressions requires special linguistic and ethical attention. The study focuses on how translators avoid gender bias, reduce stereotypical representation, and preserve inclusive meaning across languages. The article discusses gender-neutral pronouns, inclusive lexical choices, avoidance of masculine generics, reformulation, explicitation, and context-sensitive translation strategies.
