Abstract
The article discusses the theoretical foundations of the axiological study of the female image in proverbs. It is noted that the axiological approach is actively used in modern linguistic research to analyze the value aspects of various linguistic phenomena in the field of vocabulary, phraseology, and paremiology, which reflects the growing interest of researchers in the role of values in language and speech. A review of axiological research in modern linguistics shows a growing interest among linguists in studying the role of values in various aspects of language and speech. Axiological studies cover a wide range of objects – from individual words to entire texts of different genres and types of discourse.
