Abstract
The notion of feminity and masculinity is different in different languages. Each linguoculture has its own definition of these concepts. A very interesting part of the world-image of every language is how such a unique notion as “Old age” is being depicted as it is not only a biological but also a psychological and sociological category. This article aims to analyze how semantic group “Old age” is described in Russian, English, German and Italian masculine world-image.
