This paper investigates how gender influences the formation of cultural conceptualizations in language, with a specific focus on associative semantic fields. Drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, and gender studies, it explores how male and female speakers differ in their semantic associations with key cultural concepts, and how these differences reflect underlying gendered worldviews. The study engages theoretical models such as the associative-semantic network theory, prototype theory, and the cultural conceptualization framework to show that lexical meaning is not only cognitively structured but also socially and culturally conditioned by gender identity.
