ABSTRACTThis study discusses gender and family-related proverbs in Jordanian Arabic (JA). It employs Hofstede’s dimensions of culture, especially the following: power distance, masculinity-femininity, and individualism-collectivism. These concepts help interpret culturally specific meanings in these short sayings. The data contain 100 JA proverbs. They are analysed in light of Hofstede’s model to identify the values inherent in ideas of family, power distribution between family members and gender practices. With reference to literature, the analysis reveals similarities with other cultures in some socio-cultural norms. The study suggests that patriarchal values and norms are widespread across cultures and that proverbs reveal this ideology.KEYWORDS: CulturecollectivismfemininityHofstede’s modelindividualismmasculinitypatriarchy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

摘要本研究探讨了约旦阿拉伯语中与性别和家庭有关的谚语。它采用了霍夫斯泰德的文化维度,特别是以下几个方面:权力距离,男性-女性气质,个人主义-集体主义。这些概念有助于解释这些简短谚语中的特定文化含义。数据包含100个JA谚语。根据Hofstede的模型对其进行分析,以确定家庭观念、家庭成员之间的权力分配和性别实践中固有的价值观。通过对文学的分析,揭示了一些社会文化规范与其他文化的相似之处。研究表明,父权价值观和规范在各种文化中普遍存在,谚语揭示了这种意识形态。关键词:文化回忆主义女性主义hofstede模型个人主义男性主义父权制披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。书评:《民俗学与民间生活:导论》,由艾德汉·理查德·m·多尔森主编(芝加哥:芝加哥大学出版社,1973),第119.2页。米德,W.《谚语的大众观点》。箴言,2(1985),119。箴言永远不会过时:现代的大众智慧(牛津大学:牛津大学出版社1993),第24页。米德,W.箴言:一本手册(伦敦:格林伍德出版集团2004),第4页。谚语比言语更响亮:艺术、文化、民间传说、历史、文学和大众传媒中的民间智慧(纽约:Peter Lang 2008),第11.3页。《哈佛在语言学和文学方面的研究和注释:谚语的性质》(哈佛大学:哈佛大学出版社1932年),第302.4页。谚语是什么意思?英语谚语的语义研究(阿姆斯特丹:木顿出版社1985),页78.5。泰勒,A.谚语;(第113号)(哈佛大学:哈佛大学出版社1931)。Mieder, 12月。,第9.7页。跨文化谚语的对等和非对等(印尼语和英语)。国际英语语言学杂志,8(4)(2018),253。荣鸿宇《谚语揭示文化多样性》。跨文化交际,9(2),31-35.8。Romanova, T., Evdokimova, O., Zaharova, A., Ivanova, A., & Fedorova, N.,“俄罗斯和乌克兰语言文化中的概念家庭(基于谚语和谚语)”(SHS Web of Conferences, 69)。9.电子数据科学,2001,19(6):829 - 829。Nelyubova, n.y., Dugalich, n.m., & Ershov, v.i.“基于主题群家族的法语和俄语谚语的语义凝聚”。中华人民共和国语言研究学报,12(4)(2021),1051-1074.10。Degener, A.《北巴基斯坦谚语中的家庭关系》。《国际谚语学术年鉴》,39(1)(2022),1 - 28.11。Al-Amad h .“صورةالمرأةفيالأمثالالشعبيةالأردنية”女人的形象在约旦民间语录”。地理学报,33(2)(2006),266-284。Alexeeva, t.e.《英语谚语作为社会刻板印象的反映》。萨马拉大学的Vestnik说。历史、教育学、语言学,28(3)(2022),127-135。Rani, U, & Ranjha, m.i.《英语谚语中男性和女性的表现:权力关系分析》。英语语言文学与教育学报,2(02)(2020),35-62.12。孤度。J.

ABSTRACT This article explores the Galway Hooker’s history, cultural heritage, and interpretive potential as an iconic workboat and fishing vessel rooted in Claddagh, a historical fishing village in Galway City. It examines the work of the Galway Hooker Sailing Club and their restoration of one boat, known as Loveen. By contextualizing the Club’s work within a living heritage framework, it advocates for an ecomuseum as an interpretative approach. Ecomuseology, a dynamic concept, focuses on preserving local cultural heritage and promoting sustainable development across social, environmental, and economic dimensions. This study combines desk research with fieldwork, including interviews with Sailing Club members.

ABSTRACT This paper is the second on life in a northern Icelandic valley in the later 1970s, early 1980s, and subsequently. While the first concerned women’s work, food and clothing, this paper focuses on the farming cycle, the men’s work on farms and on the central uplands; and on the social life and seasonal customs that reflected the farming year. Further papers will concern folk beliefs.
