Abstract

In this article, the image of Russian Orthodox woman is reconstructed. Based on the thoughts of Renata Grzegorczykowa, who looks for causes of failure in the definition of religious language in the specifics of the religious life − which, in her opinion, cannot be clearly and decisively separated from the secular activities – the author postulates an extension of studies on the sacred language in the categories of the linguistic view of the world, i.e. the point of view and perspective in the understanding of Jerzy Bartminski. Acceptance of a particular point of view affects the choice of the content and the form of the concepts presented. The analysis of the concept of a woman is carried out using the material from the Orthodox bi-monthly magazine “Славянка”. The reconstructed image consists of two primary facets: mental features and relationships with family members, as well as four secondary ones: professional activity, education, social activity and appearance. The results of the analyses show that this is a traditional image – a woman is seen as an assistant to her husband, whose task is to support the man in all his activities. The most important value for a woman is the family and its well-being rather than her own aspirations.
