Abstract
The paper aims to show the stereotypes of men and women in Western society according to gender studies to later determine whether those stereotypes are reflected in the Czech and Spanish phraseology concerning animals, i.e. in zoologisms. The analysis is based on theories of cognitive linguistics on conceptual metaphor and conventional figurative language. The findings show a clear discrimination of both genders, the feminine being more affected.
