ملخص البحث

Proverbs are an indispensable sociocultural aspect of language; they reflect wisdom, experiences and traditions and have been transmitted across generations. Objective: This study investigates the portrayal of men and women in English and Palestinian proverbs, with a particular focus on positive attributes. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative approach, and the sample consisted of English and Palestinian proverbs that explicitly or implicitly reference men or women. All proverbs were collected from various resources including books, dictionaries and online sites. Proverbs were thematically categorized focusing on the meaning of these proverbs and the positive personal attributes they reflect. This study adopts Fairclough’s (1989) three-dimensional model to analyze English and Palestinian proverbs. Finally, the researchers contrasted the representation of men and women in English and Palestinian proverbs to identify any aspects of imbalance and bias in the portrayal of men and women in the selected proverbs. Conclusion: This study reveals similarities between English and Palestinian proverbs despite the many differences in both societies in terms of their cultures, languages, religions, history, family structures, social standards, and geographical locations. Recommendations: The researchers recommend that further research be conducted into how women and men are portrayed in proverbs from around the world to reinforce the findings reached in the present study.
