“…In Laki's gender proverbs, men are portrayed in a superior social position and are assumed to have more intellectual and mental abilities than women (Ghobadi & Heydary, 2020). In Ossetian proverbs, women are depicted as creatures having a single-track mind (Parsieva & Gatsalova, 2018). Unequal characterizations are typical of Punjabi proverbs, in which women are depicted as dependent and weak-minded in contrast to intellectual, insightful, physically and mentally strong men (Khan et al, 2017).…”

Despite the growing interest in gender differences reflected in proverbs, little attention has been paid to binary oppositions in the proverbial discourse. The paper aims to explore metaphorical gender representations in Kazakh proverbs. It focuses on how the gender oppositions in proverbs reflect the socio-cultural perceptions of gender relations in the Kazakh culture, and what new information about gender can be gained from the study of gender oppositions in proverbs. The research material was drawn from the dictionary The Ancestors' Words by purposive sampling. The study used a qualitative research design and focused on proverbs based on binary gender oppositions involving man- and woman-specific social actors. The cognitive representations of gender oppositions were examined using the Conceptual Metaphor Theory. As a result, proverbs containing binary gender oppositions are shown to reflect a typical patriarchal worldview based on the image of a man as a provider for the family, warrior and defender possessing physical strength and higher social status, and the image of a woman as a guardian of the family hearth having a subordinate status. At the same time, they reveal the complementarity of the metaphorically expressed male and female binary oppositions. Thus, gender metaphors placed in opposition in proverbs highlight the multifacetedness of gender relations in the Kazakh family and society and the inseparability and importance of both genders in the family union. The paper suggests a fresh line of investigation into the metaphorical meaning of proverbs based on binary oppositions.

“…A fragment of reality often gets a clear, sort of a picturesque image, as in the poem "Иунaeг зaeхх" ("The Only Land"): If in the previous passages the reader was asked to imagine the sky as a flat area between the clouds and the earth or as a rag on the horns of bulls, then in this passage it is not enough to imagine a flight "backward" of a burning cigarette thrown along the way, it is necessary to recreate an imaginative picture of the aircraft's movement "forward" with an illusion of "flight" of fixed earthly landmarks [13], [14].…”

The article analyzes the lexico-semantic and lexico-stylistic features of the Ossetian literary text. The authors describe a number of individual authorial innovations, repetitions, comparisons, lexical and grammatical methods of expressiveness. Particular attention is given to the study of language expressive means in N.Dzhusoyty's poetry.
