Despite rapid economic growth and social development, women in both Malaysian and Korean societies are still left behind in terms of their social, economic, and political positions compared to women in other countries of equivalent economic standing. In order to better understand the prevalence of gender inequality in both countries, this study, in recognizing the commonly accepted link between gender inequality and religious and socio-cultural context, emphasizes the significance of proverbs as a socializing agent that reflects and reproduces traditional norms and values that perpetuate female stereotypes. In both Malay and Korean societies, proverbs play an important role in upholding important social and cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes through which children learn gender-appropriate behaviors, accept gender assumptions and perspectives, and acquire gender-specific characteristics deeply rooted in the traditions of the society. By examining the depiction of the universal theme of the social role and behavior of women in proverbs, this study compares similarities and differences in the illustrations of women in both Malay and Korean proverbs. In doing so, it aims to analyze how gender stereotypes are created and reinforced through the process of socialization as it takes place within everyday language. Findings will extend our understanding of the relationship between female stereotypes and gender gaps in society and offer greater insight into the interrelationship between * This work was supported by the Laboratory Program for Korean Studies through the Ministry of Education of Republic of Korea and Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2015-LAB-2250004).

尽管经济快速增长和社会发展,马来西亚和韩国社会的妇女在社会、经济和政治地位方面仍然落后于具有同等经济地位的其他国家的妇女。为了更好地了解两国普遍存在的性别不平等现象,本研究在承认性别不平等与宗教和社会文化背景之间普遍存在的联系的同时,强调谚语作为一种社交媒介的重要性,它反映和再现了使女性刻板印象永久化的传统规范和价值观。在马来和韩国社会中,谚语在维护重要的社会和文化价值观、信仰和态度方面发挥着重要作用,通过这些价值观、信仰和态度,儿童学会了性别适当的行为,接受了性别假设和观点,并获得了深深植根于社会传统的性别特征。本研究通过考察谚语中对女性社会角色和行为这一普遍主题的描述,比较马来语和朝鲜语谚语中对女性的描述的异同。在这样做的过程中,它旨在分析性别刻板印象是如何在日常语言中发生的社会化过程中产生和加强的。研究结果将扩展我们对女性刻板印象与社会性别差距之间关系的理解,并提供对两者之间相互关系的更深入了解。这项工作得到了韩国教育部韩国研究实验室计划和韩国研究学院韩国研究促进服务(AKS-2015-LAB-2250004)的支持。《亚洲女性》2019年9月第35卷第3期第25-44页https://doi.org/10.14431/aw.2019.09.35.3.25 26❙金琴贤⋅Seung Yoan Rou⋅Tengku Intan Marlina Tengku Mohd Ali⋅Joseph Kim语言、文化和性别。

Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic regions. Comprising of 11 countries and over 650 million people, the geographical proximity of its countries has resulted in many of its nations sharing long-standing cultural heritages, colonial histories and destructive wars, and the interaction of various races, ethnic and language groups and cultures. It is a region where capitalist, socialist and transitional countries co-exist and massive transformations in social, political and economic structures have occurred. With its rapid industrialization and modernization since the mid-20th century, Southeast Asia is also the world’s fastest growing region. In spite of various challenges and obstacles, economic growth and structural transformation achieved over the past three decades has been dramatic. Recording an accumulated gross domestic product (GDP) of more than USD 2.9 trillion as of 20181, the region accounts for a substantial portion of international trade and the high-tech marketplace2. For Korea, Southeast Asia is an important partner in both political-economic relations and socio-cultural interactions. Socio-cultural exchanges and cooperation between Korea and Southeast Asian nations have been particularly remarkable in recent years thanks to the growing popularity of Korean contemporary culture, also known as the “Korean Wave” (Hallyu in Korean). Owing to the widespread use of online and social media, Korean music (K-pop) and TV dramas (K-drama) have fascinated the Southeast Asian audience, particularly women. In this context of rapid economic and social changes and transnational cultural
