metadata.value: The article discusses different types of evaluation demonstrated by comparative
  phraseological units with the components “cock” and “hen” in Swedish and Russian.
  Evaluation is one of the important linguistic categories associated with categories such
  as value and significance, which together make it possible to judge the mentality of a native
  speaker. The composition, semantics and functioning of phraseological units of the
  two languages are analysed. The material for the study is sourced from lexicographical
  works and the national corpora of the Russian and Swedish languages. It is concluded
  that in comparative phraseological units of the Swedish and Russian languages with the
  components “cock” and “hen” contain emotional rather than rational evaluativeness.
  The range of evaluative meanings of Swedish phraseological units is narrower than the
  corresponding spectrum of Russian units. Swedish units characterize only human behavior,
  and ethical evaluativeness in them prevails over aesthetic evaluativeness. Common
  to the two linguistic cultures are ideas about the cock as a pugnacious and cocky
  bird. Swedish does not use descriptions equivalent to the Russian like a plucked cock or
  dressing up like a cock. Swedish comparisons with the hen component, which were once
  gender-marked, are steadily moving toward gender neutrality, and the corresponding
  Russian units, representing a stupid and fussy woman, retain a vivid gender relation.
  The predominance of pejorative evaluation in two languages is probably due to the fact
  that chickens have always been available for close observation. Noting their appearance and behaviour, people never saw any positive qualities in them, probably aware of their
  utilitarian purpose.
