Introduction. The introduction substantiates the relevance and novelty of the conducted research, which are determined, firstly, by the unique empirical basis of the research – the dramatic works of different years by M. I. Arbatova, who, according to the researchers, in the 1980s ‒ 1990s “was the only playwright working in line with the new feminist idea”, and, secondly, by the representation of research experience in the formation of a system of linguistic markers of feminist discourse and the approbation of an algorithm for its discourse analysis. The purpose of this work is to identify, analyze and describe systematically organized linguistic markers of feminist discourse in the dramatic works of M. I. Arbatova. Materials and methods. The dramatic works of M. I. Arbatova from different years were used as empirical material – a total of 14 plays (1979‒1994). These works were analyzed on the basis of the method of discourse analysis and the semantic-stylistic method, which made it possible to combine the identified language markers into a system based on the implementation of the highlighted social features of feminism and their explication in the dramaturgy of M. I. Arbatova. Research results, discussions. The main results of the study include: 1) identification and systematization of the main linguistic markers of feminist discourse in the dramatic works of M. I. Arbatova; 2) development of a discourse analysis algorithm; 3) correlation of the selected linguistic units with the main social features of feminism and its meaningful and semantic manifestations in the author's text. Conclusion. The main conclusions obtained as a result of the conducted research are made. First of all, the linguistic markers of feminist discourse in the dramatic works of M. I. Arbatova can be combined into a system in terms of semantic content, as well as semantic and stylistic means, which, on the one hand, reflect the global ideas of the feminist movement, on the other hand, represent their individual author’s use in the artistic discourse of M. I. Arbatova.
