Abstract

Numerous social sciences and humanities disciplines have studied the ubiquitous phenomena of communication. Conflict communication has long been differentiated in the framework of communication science. However, the gender component of the language struggle in Ukrainian studies has not been resolved, and scholars still find it to be quite pertinent and in-demand. In our work, we place emphasis on the requirement for a thorough investigation of the gender linguistic conflict within the context of developing a communicative culture in Ukraine. In the first and second levels of higher education, we focus on the development of communicative ability as we analyze the state standards for higher education in specialty 035 "Philology." We contend that the communicative competency framework does not take the speaker's gender identification into consideration. Conflicts between a man and a woman may lead to this. As a result, the author discusses the value of gender competency in communication. The curriculum that teaches conflict communication to graduate students and enables for describing gender conflict from many angles is also examined in the essay (national linguistic representation, space-time parameters, social characteristics, age, etc.).
