Abstract

The article describes gender stereotypes embedded in phraseological units, analyzing their role in shaping societal perceptions of gender roles. Phraseological units, as integral components of language, reflect cultural values and social norms, often reinforcing traditional gender roles and expectations. The article examines how these linguistic expressions contribute to the perpetuation of gender-based stereotypes and investigates potential shifts in their usage over time. By employing a comparative and semantic analysis of phraseological units in different languages, this study highlights the linguistic mechanisms through which gender biases are maintained. The study contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersection between language and gender perception, offering insights for linguistic studies, gender research, and discourse analysis.
