The article presents a fragment of the authors' scientific research in the field of gender linguistics, linguoculturology and linguoconceptology. This study aims to determine and substantiate the means of intellectual representation of the gender concept ‘ayel’ in the Turkic paremiological picture of the world. This study reveals the linguocultural features of the intellectual representation of the gender concept ‘ayel’ presented in the gender conceptosphere of Turkic languages. The concept ‘ayel’ is analysed on the material of gender marked paremiological means of speech - proverbs (paremia) of Turkic languages from the point of view of intellectual characteristics. For this purpose, a sample of gender-marked proverbs representing the intellectual sphere and qualities in the image of ayel (woman) is created. In the course of the research, attention was paid to the analysis of linguistic means of representation of intellectual qualities of ‘ayel’, which was based on the comparative method, linguocognitive analysis of the concept, modelling and linguocultural analysis of the components of the gender concept ‘ayel’. The gender concept ‘ayel’ has not been the subject of special study from the point of view of intellectual characterisation in Turkic linguoculture until now. The paremiological material of Turkic languages showed the linguocultural features of the concept ‘әyel’ and actualised a special study of the intellectual characteristics of the gender phenomenon. The authors of the article in the definition of the concept and gender categories rely on the fundamental works on linguoconceptology, conceptosphere, gender conceptosphere and gender linguistics. As a result of the research the following key conclusions have been obtained: the features of intellectual representation of the gender concept ‘ayel’ on the basis of paremi are revealed; the factors and means of intellectual representation are revealed and described; the characteristics of Turkic paremiology and means of modelling the concept ‘ayel’ as a gender phenomenon and a subject of intellectual qualities are determined; a comparative characteristic of intellectual characteristics of gender macro-concepts included in the conceptual (content) structure of the megaconcept ‘ayel’ is carried out. The research will contribute to the development of the methodology of gender concept research, theory and methodology of conceptual study of the gender picture of the world of the speakers of Turkic languages.
