The purpose of the article is to analyze changes in the roles of men and women in language and culture through the prism of proverbs and sayings in Russian, English, and German. The article examines how gender stereotypes are transformed in language and how these changes affect the perception of the roles of men and women in different cultures. The presentation of the research methodology, including linguistic methods such as semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic analysis, helps to understand the approach to analyzing proverbs. This makes it possible to comprehend how stereotypes based on gender are transformed in language. A review of the results of the analysis of proverbs in Russian, German, and English demonstrates a wide range of gender stereotypes. It describes how the same patterns of behavior can manifest themselves in different languages, but at the same time influence the perception of the roles of men and women in culture.
