The stereotype of 'father', analyzed in this paper, is a set of associations that the Hungarian community attributes to this notion and that complement the denotative features of the mental object at hand. The internal taxonomy of the notion under consideration reveals the fact that the meanings constituting its extension are characterized by various degrees of conventionalization. The boundaries are sometimes blurred, and may involve shared domains. It appears that the family profile is the most fully established one in Hungarian. The present paper is based on the material of the Hungarian National Corpus, several Hungarian dictionaries, collections of proverbs and phraseologisms, articles on language cultivation, as well as on linguistic data collected from everyday speech.
