Abstract
This study analyzes lexical representation of G. Hofstede's gender values illustrating the opposition of masculine and feminine national cultures. The lexical material of the research is English and Russian phrasecons. One of the values “maximum / minimum emotional and social role differentiation between the genders” is analyzed in more detail including quantitative (the number of representations) and qualitative aspects (their semantics). The results show that Russian phraseological units representing the masculine value dominate in number but they are more metaphorical than English phraseological units. The findings correlate with the sociological study results obtained by G. Hofstede.
