SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC FEATURES OF GENDERCOMPONENT PROVERBS EXPRESSIONS IN THE ENGLISH, UZBEK AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES
Abstract
The article explores the philosophical and linguistic aspects of symmetry and asymmetry, emphasizing their importance in understanding the universal and diverse concepts used in languages of different systems. It highlights the continuous development and refinement of these notions over time, underscoring the significance of the symmetry-asymmetry principle as a fundamental universal concept for comprehending nature, time, motion, and space theories. Furthermore, the study investigates the symmetric and asymmetric characteristics present in proverbs containing gender components across English, Russian, and Uzbek languages. By examining these linguistic expressions, the research delves into how gender roles and relationships are manifested through language structures. The article aims to reveal common patterns and deviations in the construction of gender-related proverbs, shedding light on the intricate interplay among language, culture, and gender dynamics. Additionally, the article delves into gender asymmetry, particularly through gender lacunarity, and analyzes its significance in the gender category and its representation in proverbs. Special attention is given to the concept of metagender and its manifestation in proverbs from different language systems.
