Abstract: System linguistics and system typology perspective introduces clarity into the understanding of grammatical status of language units and grammatical categories. The author proposes that the internal form and the system relationship of the language units make language learning process easier. This article explores and analyses the formation, evolution and current status of the internal form of Russian gender markers and their grammatical functions from the perspective of system linguistics and system typology. This makes it possible to see old problems from a new synthesised explanatory approach and reveals an optimal correlation between the form, matter and function of the various language units. It also takes into account the internal and external factors. Understanding these aspects of the language contributes towards an improvement in the effectiveness of language teaching as a native as well as a foreign language.
