Abstract—The study analyzes the cases of violation of socially
stereotyped and linguistically accepted norms of
gender-stratified verbal behavior; naturally, these special cases
are marked, and the aim of the study is to decipher the meaning
of this markedness. In the study the phenomenon of a marked
new verbal gender model of the world that becomes womanly
transformed is called Cinderella syndrome. Women’s literature
was chosen as the material for the analysis of female features in
men’s speech as it presents many cases of the phenomenon and
at the same time happens itself to be a reason for it.
Index Terms—Inverted verbal gender roles, women’s
literature, speech/description contradiction, factor of addressee.
