Abstract:

Our study deals with the use of proverbs as a tool of persuasion in political discourse. Within this study we have studied and analyzed the texts of Georgian and French political articles, speeches and proverbs used therein. The analysis revealed that the proverbs found and used by us in the French discourses were not only of French origin. Also, most of the proverbs found in the French discourses were used as titles of the articles. As for the Georgian proverbs, they consisted mainly of popular proverbs well known to the Georgian public. Georgia proverbs have rarely been cited as an article t

Abstract:

The study of ethnic proverbs in intercultural communication in English has recently become a promising research perspective. Chinese media in English, which communicate China’s message to the world, abound in native proverbs. In media coverage of international issues Chinese proverbs present an effective tool of China’s interaction with other countries. Proverbs convey China’s standpoint indirectly but firmly and may be viewed as China’s discursive strategy in media-based international discourse.

Abstract Proverbs are notoriously hard to define, and various approaches to this problem are currently in use in the field of paremiology. The discussion in this paper develops a marker-based proverb definition based on linguistic criteria which is suitable for proverb research in linguistic paremiology. The basis of this definition is empirically supported by the results of an experiment with invented German proverbs containing different types of proverbial markers built on the design described in Arora (1984). The results of the experiment show the importance of proverbial markers for the su

Phraseology, a discipline of linguistics, has as its fundamental purpose to identify and analyze various lexical units that demonstrate certain expressions, postures and behaviors of the speakers. One of these lexical units is the proverb that expresses and perpetuates the wisdom and language of a people. Therefore, the purpose of this article is, firstly, to analyze the most significant theoretical aspects of phraseology and proverbs and, secondly, to interpret a corpus of sayings.

Comparison is an inherent process in folkloristics. The inclusion of paremiology in folklore studies and the concept of proverb being a folklore genre allows the comparison of proverbs too, which are most suitable for a study of this kind. However, what needs to be defined is what comparison consists of and how it differs from other approaches like those of contrast and typology. In this paper we will try to highlight this concept and see how it is related to variation, a key feature to folklore, using examples from the proverbial discourse of the Balkan peoples.

Proverbs teach these manners by guiding, rebuking, warning and admonishing the unwanted behaviours. Setswana proverbs are still used and enjoyed by some of the native Batswana, but it is evident from the rate of usage that they are no longer used frequently and efficiently as one would expect.

Abstract:

Proverbs have long functioned as repositories of cultural wisdom, reflecting the values, beliefs, and social norms of diverse communities. The domain of gender discourse remains a dynamic arena for the negotiation of societal norms, power dynamics, and resistance to prevailing ideologies. Grounded in the theoretical framework of standpoint feminism, this study adopts a lens that acknowledges the complex interplay of gender dynamics within the Jukun community. This framework provides a nuanced perspective for understanding how counter-hegemonic gender discourse emerges within the broad context

Abstract:

Abstract Proverbs are often used in argumentation to convey an epistemic or deontic point of view. While their argumentative potential has not failed to gain the attention of linguists, much remains to be done in terms of analyzing their pragmatic function in single argumentative contexts and languages. With a view to this desideratum, and embracing a contrastive perspective, I pose the question of the argumentative role of proverbs in Italian and French journalistic discourse. In a pragma-dialectical framework, I take the rhetorical perspective to pertain to argumentation as much as the diale

Proverbs are terse but ‘condensed’ expressions which contain moral lessons. In every culture, proverbs form part of the nuggets of popular wisdom, expressed in the form of wise sayings (Maledo 2015). Among the Nzema of Ghana, proverbs permeate almost all communicative encounters. They are ‘injected’ into discourses to motivate people to behave well, and to repudiate vices in the society. This paper discusses the didactics and communicative values of Nzema proverbs related to health conditions (and impairments) such as blindness, deafness, leprosy, hunchback, goitre, hernia, rickets and migrain

This paper aims to answer the question, “To what extent do proverbs and idiomatic expressions convey the embedded meanings of discourse between the addressers and addressees?” to bring to light that proverbs and idiomatic expressions convey the embedded meaning of discourse. Therefore, the analysis concentrates on such linguistic means as nominalization and lexicalization. These means have been chosen as primary tools for the analysis due to the fact that they are closely related to the two kinds of constraints, such as nouns and words, that are used in the context.
