LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE IMAGE OF A WOMAN IN ENGLISH AND KUMYK PHRASEOLOGY
The article presents an analysis of gender-marked phraseological units of the English and Kumyk languages, which led to the conclusion that the perception of women’s images is formed under the influence of national gender stereotypes, which are reflected in the linguistic cultures of the English and Kumyks. For the first time, a study of the image of a woman in English and Kumyk phraseology made it possible to establish her role and attitude towards her in society and to determine the status of a woman in English and Kumyk society. Considering the formation of a woman in the English and Kumyk linguocultures, similarities and differences in the representation of a woman in all her hypostases in phraseology are revealed. The authors of the study come to conclusion that married English and Kumyk women are presented as keepers of the hearth, the stronghold of the family. Idioms are found that demonstrate an image of a woman-wife and show the inviolability of family ties, the distribution of responsibilities in the family, as well as friendly relations between husband and wife, but in both cultures depraved in women depravity, lack of intelligence, poor relations with the mother-in-law, chattiness, which can cause divorce. In English idioms, a wife is shown to be more independent than in the Kumyk units. In the Kumyk phraseologisms, due to the national mentality, some dependence of women on men and even the possibility of polygamy are reflected, although the latter is condemned.
