Abstract
The paper aims to identify the gender stereotypes embedded in the French paroemiological picture of the world, and specifically the stereotypes concerning the young women’s physical appearance, personal and social characteristics. The scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that it analyzes the semantics and values of stereotypical image of females of a specific age group: the paroemia with the gender component “fille” became a subject of the analysis. As a result, the study has identified the semantic groups of paroemia which reflect stereotypical values of appearance and moral qualities of a young woman, has proved that the evaluation of different components of a young woman’s image is directly or indirectly related to the perspective of marriage which is of great economic importance in a patriarchal society.
