The gender issue in general and the gender issue in a literary work in particular in literary criticism and in a number of works devoted to gender roles is presented as a question of the power of one gender (most often male) over another. In a literary work, this problem is relevant not only at the level of the theme and the protagonists of the work, which follows from the very essence of the issue, but also at the level of language. At the language level, the problem of gender is reflected both at the level of vocabulary and at the level of semantics and morphology. In the works of Sasha Sokolov, we will also find it at the level of the theme and structure of the statement, as well as in the game with stylistic elements. The problem of gender in language is viewed, as a rule, as a reflection of the dominance of one gender over another, and the attempts to solve it as the elimination of such dominance. When interpreting such works of postmodernism as, for example, the novel Palisandria, the solution to this problem is associated with the literary game typical of the indicated era. The article shows that both the question of gender in 73 a language and the answer to it in a literary work are primarily a question about the perspective created within the framework of this work, directly depends on it and is determined by it. The article examines four strategies for creating a fractal perspective at the level of the language of the work and shows how this perspective not only affects our perception of gender role ambivalence, but is also a symptom of our openness to such perception.
