Abstract. Proverbs are essential elements of communication in African communities. These are the traditional maxims that people use to relate to others in societies. They are also powerful tools that propel stimulating, interesting, culturally impactful and wisdomfilled interactions (primarily in informal contexts) among Africans. This study aims to explore the categories and functions of proverbs in two African communities (the Likuba people in the Cuvette region of northern Congo and the Annang in Akwaibom State in Nigeria). This is a qualitative-descriptive research. The participant-observa

Abstract:
African proverbs have, for good reason, attracted considerable attention from scholars, both African and non-African. One notable testimony to such attention is the international conference in South Africa from which came a monumental collection of scholarly articles now available on CD and in print. Another evidence of the interest the subject has enjoyed among African scholars is the wealth of publications they have produced in recent years, for example, Adeleke Adeeko’s monograph Proverbs, Textuality, and Nativism in African Literature; Ambrose Adikamkwu Monye’s Proverbs in African Orature:

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Proverbs are normally classified as memorable statements that are full of insights, veracities, and scruples. They also embody traditional perceptions and sensitivities in a figurative, static, and easy to memorize format (Mieder, Proverbs Are Never Out of Season ). Again, proverbs are philosophical products of careful observations. The aim is to examine and explore traditional portrayals of Akan women. Using nego-feminism, ten Akan proverbs about women are critically examined. The argument is advanced that though the specific contexts that necessitate the use of a particular proverb

Accordingly, a look on the sexist proverb both in English and Kibeembe will help to see the actual place of women provided by these two respective communities. Finally, the data has shown in some r

Abstract Language is a product of culture. Linguistic codes do not exist in isolation but are born out of socio-cultural values. The representation of these socio-cultural values may pose problems to the one writing African literature in a foreign language. Meanings of expressions, proverbs, myths and tales cannot be decoded semantically unless in their socio-cultural contexts. This study borders on the style of language employed in the creation of African literature. It analyzes the use of foreign language in depicting an aspect of African culture- proverbs.

Consequently, the implementation of mitigation measures becomes a common necessity. In pursuit of a straightforward and cost-effective crossing des
