At the current stage of linguistics in general and phraseology in particular are characterized by staging new tasks, the solution of which requires an interdisciplinary approach approach Yes, understanding the close relationship between language and culture determined the development in the second half of the 20th century. new directions in phraseological studies, namely linguistic and cultural studies, cognitive and gender phraseology. An important sociocultural category, which is directly represented in the phraseological meaning, is gender.
The terms «phraseology, phraseological unit» are interpreted as «the general name of semantically free combinations of words that are not produced in the language (as syntactic structures similar in form to them - word combinations or sentences), and are reproduced in it in a stable ratio of content and a certain lexical and grammatical composition» [2, p. 22]. Gender is understood as a set of norms of behavior that is usually associated with men and women in this society. Basically gender is based on the idea that "it is not so much biological that is important or physical differences between a man and a woman, how much cultural and social significance society attaches to these differences" [3, c. 17].
Phraseological units of the thematic groups «character» and «intellectual abilities» represent a typical representation of the English language society of female behavior, mainly stereotypes that discriminate against women and speak of their lack of autonomy, testify to numerous female defects. Negatives prevail here qualities such as talkativeness and quarrelsomeness (old cat; common scold; woman hair is long, her tongue is longer; and a woman's tongue wags like a lamb's tail), fussiness and senselessness (meddling duchess; there was never a conflict without a woman; three things drive a man out of his house: smoke, rain and a scolding wife), extravagance (a woman can throw out the window more than a man can bring at the door), treachery (there are two kinds of women: those who take what you are and those who take what you have), capriciousness and emotionality (pretty Fanny's way; as great a pity to see a woman weeps as to see a goose goes bare foot). Stereotypes about men, on the contrary, highlighted by positive idioms emphasizing such «male» qualities, such as honesty and reliability (a man of honor), courage and endurance (a man of courage, a man of decision, a man of character), vola (master of situation, to play the master, a man of his word, a man of the world) [1].
In English idiomatics, a very contemptuous attitude towards the intellectual abilities of a woman is recorded. So, in phraseology woman's reason or woman's logic women act as persons of irrational thinking. Bright proof of this is the proverb when an ass climbs a ladder, we may find wisdom in a woman. In this proverb, donkeys are compared to a woman who cannot find the wisdom, like him, to accept the vertical position [3]. In other words, a donkey that could climb the stairs was as hard to find as a wise woman. Interesting use in proverbs, the verb may, which implies that even if there will be the first part of the statement is fulfilled, this is not a reason for the implementation of the second action.
Among the phraseological units characterizing the status of a man and women, there is a noticeable tendency to emphasize the presiding position of the man in the house (lord and master, master of the house, be your own man (to be have in the way that you want and to not let others people influence you)). To be a wife, housewife and mother is considered the natural destination of a woman (a woman's place, woman's work). Very often, a woman is perceived as property, which brings only sorrows and worries to its master. He that gets a ship or a wife will always have trouble. A fair wife and frontier castle breed quarrels.Three things breed jealousy: a mighty state, a rich treasury and a fair wife. The nice wife and back door rob the house.
On the other hand, popular opinion is addressed to the man as a representative of the human race. Many proverbs even warn men from all kinds of life troubles connected with a woman. Many wives, multiple poverty. Woman is a woe to man. Women are necessary evils. Woman's answer is never to seek. Conclusions. Speaking about the peculiarities of phraseological units, in the semantics of which there is a gender component, it is possible to conclude that due to its representativeness, the ability to manifest itself at all levels of the language system reflects gender linguistic reality and national language culture. As the analysis shows, it can be concluded that the majority is gender of marked phraseological units humiliates and insults woman as a person, emphasizes the social inequality of women and men [2]. Phraseological units with a male gender component make up the majority, which, in our opinion, is a consequence the historically constructed dominant position of men in society [1].
The study of phraseological units of the English language with a gender component will never lose its relevance relevance and perspective, since every year the phraseological fund of the English language is replenished, which reflects social and cultural changes in certain periods of society's development. Gender as a sociocultural category is the most vividly reveals the features of the concepts «man/woman», and also helps the phraseological means of expressing the language only to display, but also to record and transmit from generation to generation to the generation of cultural attitudes and stereotypes.
