Gender Stereotypes in the Paremiological Picture of the World English, Russian and Kyrgyz peoples

Abstract

Currently, we are witnessing a rapid growth in research on the study of the gender aspects of language and speech. Gender linguistics is one of the promising areas that study the language and its units containing gender components. This work is devoted to the study of gender stereotypes in English Russian and Kyrgyz paremiology. The paper analyzes the proverbs of the English, Russian and Kyrgyz languages, which reflect the process of gender stereotyping, and draws conclusions about the representations of the roles of men and women, which are reflected in the proverbs of these peoples. Language consciousness not only reveals a wide range of problems that exist today, but also reveals the positive trends in society, resulting from the desire to overcome stereotypes rooted in popular culture. Moreover, the gender problem in the proverbial picture of any culture is a young and insufficiently studied science, and now in linguistics there is a rapid growth of research devoted to the study of the gender parameter in the language. The phraseological fund of any language is a very interesting and meaningful material for gender studies, as it reflects many aspects of people’s lives: history, national consciousness, mores, values, preferences, attitudes and lifestyles. It should be noted that the research of proverbs was carried out not only within the framework of phraseology, but also in other scientific fields. Compared to phraseology, paremiology has a much longer tradition.
