“GENDER REPRESENTATION IN PROVERBS ACROSS CULTURES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PROVERBS”

The research highlights similarities and differences in the portrayal of women and men in proverbs, analyzing cultural, social, and historical contexts. The methodology combines qualitative cultural analysis and quantitative frequency study. Results show that both English and Uzbek proverbs reflect patriarchal ideologies while preserving cultural values of family and morality. The study contributes to gender linguistics and intercultural communication.
