Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the way women are presented in Karaim proverbs compared with perceptions of women in proverbs in Turkish and Polish. This analysis is inspired by the fact that proverbs listed in Mardkowicz’s work Karaim. Jego życie i zwyczaje w przysłowiach ludowych (A Karaite. His life and customs in folk proverbs) in the chapter “On woman and child” can be matched with equivalents in collections of Turkish and Polish proverbs. In addition, such a recapitulative juxtaposition enhances the linguistic and cultural image of women, as they are described according to the same criteria. The material gathered here has been divided according to topics covered by expressions. The division into thematic groups is not a forced one but stems from the meaning of particular proverbs. As the proverbs collected by Mardkowicz also concern children, a separate group is devoted to children. The 1st group comprises proverbs dealing with perceptions of women and their characteristics, the 2nd group concerns women as mothers, the 3rd – women as wives, the 4th – the family, the 5th – children.
