The following work represents the sources of origin of phraseological units which have verbalized the concept of FRAU in German linguistic culture. The study provides gender approach. It argues that the concept FRAU discloses national, cultural and gender attitude of the representatives of the German culture towards women.
Phraseological units represent a means of figurative reflection of the world, they absorb historical and mythological events, religious and ethical views of a certain ethnos of different epochs and generations.
It is important to note that new phraseological units occur even today. They emerge from different spheres of life and reflect recent events of reality.
In the course of research and analysis of phraseological units that represent the FRAU concept, the most numerous groups of origin of these units were identified, namely they are related to moral principles and foundations of society; customs and traditions; beliefs, tales and legends; folk art, fairy tales and songs; literature; professional spheres; ancient myths; history; the Bible; plants and animals.
Emotions, relationships, experience and attitude of a person to this or that phenomenon are also reflected in phraseological units. Position in a country, beliefs and traditions, social devices and dogmas play a leading role in the emergence and development of phraseological units with the studied concept.Downloads
