THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDYING GENDER REPRESENTATION IN IDIOMS AND PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS
Abstract
Phraseological units, including idioms, proverbs, and collocations, are key elements of language reflecting cultural, historical, and social structures. This study explores the significance of analyzing gender representation within these units. It highlights how gender roles, values, and stereotypes are encoded and perpetuated through language. The research emphasizes the theoretical and practical advantages of gender-focused phraseology, including the identification of culturally marked traits, understanding of stereotype formation, and provision of resources for language teaching, translation, and lexicography. The study demonstrates that structural features of phraseological units, such as idiomatic usage and contextual dependency, offer valuable insights into the linguistic and cultural representation of gender.
