In this paper, we concentrate on stereotypes related to the female sphere, which originate from both social and cognitive structures. These stereotypes persist in the collective imagination of both male and female communities and are challenging to eradicate. Moreover, these conceptualisations of women, conveyed through idiomatic phrases, clearly demonstrate the interconnectedness of stereotypes and metaphors, often with negative connotations. We will demonstrate that fixed expressions present a challenge in terms of accurately conveying meaning during translation, within a specific referential context and the experiential understanding of every individual.

Abstract

In this paper, we concentrate on stereotypes related to the female sphere, which originate from both social and cognitive structures. These stereotypes persist in the collective imagination of both male and female communities and are challenging to eradicate. Moreover, these conceptualisations of women, conveyed through idiomatic phrases, clearly demonstrate the interconnectedness of stereotypes and metaphors, often with negative connotations. We will demonstrate that fixed expressions present a challenge in terms of accurately conveying meaning during translation, within a specific referential context and the experiential understanding of every individual.

Dans cette contribution, nous nous intéressons aux stéréotypes basés sur l’univers féminin, qui dérivent de structures d’ordre social et d’ordre cognitif à la fois: ils perdurent dans l’imaginaire collectif d’une communauté de locuteurs et de locutrices, et sont difficiles à éradiquer. De même, ces représentations imagées de la femme, à travers des unités phraséologiques, révèlent effectivement que des stéréotypes et des métaphores s’entrelacent, dans des allusions pour la plupart péjoratives. De plus, les séquences figées posent problème quant à la restitution de sens en traduction, dans le cadre d’un contexte référentiel précis et de la cognition expérientielle de tout être humain.
Stéréotypes, phraséologismes, métaphores conceptuelles, sexisme langagier
