Репрезентация женской идентичности в немецких неопаремиях с гендерным маркером

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the combinatorial-semantic and cognitive-dynamic specificity of the reflection of female identity in neoparemias (anti-proverbs) in German with a feminine and a combined (feminine and masculine) gender marker. The scientific novelty of the research lies in applying a specially developed algorithm for linguistic analysis of neoparemias, which takes into account several aspects of studying these units and is aimed at attaining the stated aim. As a result, it was found that the principle of linguistic combinatorics serves as the basis for the formation of German neoparemias about female individuality, which includes such mechanisms of transformation of well-known paroemias as explication, substitution, contamination, combination, as well as well-known paremic models. The gender-systemic aspect of the study of neoparemias consists in identifying gender indicators, i.e., lexical, grammatical and other linguistic means indicating female gender. The method of semantic and cognitive analysis helps us to determine the meanings embedded in new paremiological units by native German speakers. The cognitive-dynamic aspect of the study is aimed at identifying non-traditional attitudes about the criteria of female identity and correlations caused by the new realities of the modern anthropocentric paradigm.
