This study is going to analyze the relationship and harmony between the proverbs used in Jamalzade’s stories with the social situations of the characters. Jamalzade enjoyed this literature in order to get close to people’s daily language and make his works more impressive. The research’s data showed that Jamalzade could create a modern way of writing in Persian prose by using ordinary people’s language and culture and combining it with Persian. He not only uses proverbs—as one of the most important factors of folksy literature in the formation of his stories, but also puts his best to use them properly according to the characters’ social status; it has made his stories look more realistic. In fact, the relationship and appropriateness of the proverb and characters is such important for him that if he wants to use a proverb in several different situations, he make change in it.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to make a proverb analyses between the various phraseological expressions that originate from different regions in Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, and Montenegro. The aim of this research is morphonological and pragmatical analysis of the Albanian proverbs due to empirical and theoretical phraseological methodology. What motivated us to write this paper is the fact that a relatively high number of this proverbs are used in phraseological expressions, so they are important in the respective culture and tradition. Idiomatic language is human-centred, because human body, or nature serves as an important source of idioms or proverbs as they resonate with anyone, both physically and metaphorically. These proverbs and idioms may display the philosophy of the people speaking Albanian language and serves as a window into the Albanian culture and tradition. Proverbs create accurate images in the mind that draw the reader's or listener's attention. Proverbs are not only used as stylistic features but also as persuasive arguments reflecting a people's way of life, culture, and tradition. Studying language makes one aware that proverbs provide insights into the linguistic situations of scientific creativity. Moreover, proverbs and phraseologies are incredibly diverse and enable students to understand the wide range of opportunities and expressions that the language offers.

Full textAbstract:
With reference to the Malay Language Secondary School Standard Curriculum, proverbs in Malaysian contexts are one of the language aspects that students needs to use integrated in the language teaching. This research identified proverbs in the Malaysian secondary school textbooks analyzed using inquisitive semantic approach. The proverbs data were obtained Form 4 and Form 5 Malay Language textbooks, from Ministry of Education Malaysia. Nine pieces of data were identified using the inquisitive semantics study framework involving three stages; surface meaning analysis, the semantics resonance analysis involving speaker’s cognitive by applying the Cross-reference Framework (Kempson, 1986) in the Relevance Theory (Sperber Wilson, 2986; 1995), and the meaning analysis using the inquisitive semantics approach (Jalaluddin, 2014). The study indicated the proverb meaning analysis starting from the knowledge of the meaning from the dictionary, followed by the meaning of the proverbs in the context of sentences, and the exploration into the philosophy and common sense underlying the formation of the proverbs. The study proposed that the textbooks stimulated students’ higher-order thinking skills with the inquiry method to create new discovery and knowledge. In conclusion, the textbooks offered teachers the proverbs analyzed by the inquisitive semantics approach as a teaching approach such to make the process of learning language in their classrooms more meaningful.

Full textAbstract:
Proverbs are one method by which an ideology can be taught. They are pithy, memorable phrases and sentences that encapsulate guidance for behaviour in ethical situations or a particular view of the way the world functions or ought to function. If an individual saying becomes proverbial, it becomes part of the "common sense" and ideology of the culture in which it is used, a means by which people can be made to behave and perceive according to verbal reflexes, without recourse to thought (Cram 90-92). But if any piece of language is to affect the way people think and behave, it has to have authority. Folk proverbs carry their own authority within themselves. They do not need a source attribution for their validity; if everyone in the speech community recognises them as 'proverbial,' then the tradition behind them in itself gives them authority. Political and religious institutions, especially authoritarian ones, have long been aware of the power of the proverb to influence behaviour. In the medieval church, this acknowledgment sometimes took the form of the collection of popular proverbs by the clergy for the use of all, and at other times was manifested in the use of vernacular proverbs in the text of Latin sermons (Wenzel 80). But another possible reaction is to create new 'proverbs' which are more conducive to the ideology of the institution, in contrast to the undependable and sometimes ambiguous morality of folk proverbs, either by composing them or by finding them in written sources. Dictators like Mao Zedong have attempted to proverbialise their own sayings, which the populace is forcibly taught to mouth and bear in mind, so that it will behave and perceive in ways that are acceptable to authority. There is evidence that the English church also attempted to create its own body of proverbs during the Middle English period, for a substantial body of literature survives from that time which consists of lists of proverbial advice. Much of this literature appears to be an attempt to make use of the concept of the proverb, which had an oral tradition that went back to pre-literate, and pre-Christian times, but in a way more reliably conducive to a world-view and behaviour consistent with Christian dogma. These sayings were not really proverbial in the traditional sense, but more like direct, straight-forward instruction or advice. However, they seem nevertheless to have been regarded as 'proverbs' at the time, whether they originated with the church or not (Louis). In any case, because the new proverbs lacked the automatic authority of popular proverbs, they had to be framed in contexts which attempted to substitute a different kind of moral authority for the 'proverbial' utterances. These legitimising contexts were basically three: the domestic circumstance of a parent instructing a child; the more public situation of a ruler or philosopher instructing the people; and florilegia-like collections in which numerous utterances are attributed to various figures of history.

Full textAbstract:
Awing is a village found in the North West Region of Cameroon with a population of about 60000 inhabitants according to A wing Palace statistics (Shedmankah 2009:3). Awing society has moved from a patriarchal and hierarchical society to egalitarianism, from homogeneous society to heterogeneous one within the same indigenous set up. The patriarchal and hierarchical society in which the man takes initiative alone and controls production is now changing to one in which the woman has started taking initiative thus revolting against chauvinism and assuming her independence. This paper demonstrates though proverbs that there is a shift /move from the ideology of conservatism to that of egalitarianism in the Awing society as a result of the influence of contemporary issues. It also illustrates the role of the Awing female in social cohesion as spelt out in their proverbs. Proverbs are the wisdom of the ancestors and the best way of preserving language. So analysis of proverbs will show the present male hegemony and how women are revolting against it. The problem this paper raises is that there is a shift in ideology in Awing society. This will create confusion and destroy social cohesion. The moral value of proverbs will diminish in Awing community and people will become less interested in the use of proverbs, the excesses of the feminist movement is going to destabilise the Awing society. The African man has a role to play as well as the woman. If these roles are destabilised, there is no unity or social cohesion. Social cohesion takes place when each person plays his role. The fact that the feminist movement is attacking the traditional tenet of unity is dangerous and can never bring unity. About 90 proverbs are analysed using the (post) Marxist approach. Through these proverbs, the African thought in relation to the on-going struggle for women emancipation is expressed. These proverbs are collected from the Awing society and transcribed in the Awing language. The free translation method is used to bring out the English version with concentration on the context of the proverb and not on Grammar.

The focus of this research is the theme of Javanese local wisdom culture which related to Javanese proverb expressions about "Rukun Agawe Santosa". My aim is to explore further how these Javanese proverbs are carried out by the Javanese people themselves in daily life. To deepen this study the methodology that I used was Comparative Study with an awareness of the ethical values and harmony that was sparked in the Javanese proverb expression "Rukun Agawe Santosa". Through Emannuel Levinas's thoughts on Ethics and in the expression of Javanese local wisdom culture, I find that the value of environmental ethics is growing today due to the emergence of a stronger awareness of the importance of maintaining relationships with "the other" ie the earth and all its contents but in general, ethics are the most talked about in the context of human relations and ultimately the Javanese cultural expression "Rukun Agawe Santosa" becomes the main capital and the most appropriate way of creating solid unity and unity so as to create a strong and peaceful society.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. An empirical verification of the Hemingway’s “sad hypothesis” and study of some individual characteristics of a discourse formation in a process of short texts understanding.
Methods and procedure of research. The study was based on the principle of a standardized interview, which was carried out on a random sample (103 respondents) using the questionnaire. The subjects interpreted two proverbs and the short story by Hemingway (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn”). In each case, it was proposed to choose one of the six ready-made interpretations or to create an original one. Proverb explications were classified by experts as “normative” or “deviating”, and interpretations of the story were evaluated into “sad” or “pragmatic” ones. Also, a “normativity index” was calculated for each respondent, reflecting the number of normative renditions of proverbs. The Psychogeometric test was used, and such socio-demographic characteristics were recorded as: gender, age, having children.
Results. This study refutes the “sad hypothesis” regarding Hemingway’s six-word story affect. The prevalence of pragmatic type interpretation over sentimental one is statistically significant. The type of interpretation turned out to be not directly related to any of the considered socio-demographic characteristics. It was found that the sad interpretation of the story reliably corresponds to a high normativity of the proverbs explications. Conversely, respondents with deviating interpretations of proverbs were significantly more likely to interpret Hemingway’s story in a pragmatic way. Differential psychological features, which were distinguished using the Psychogeometric test, turned out to be an insignificant predictor of the six-word story interpretations.
Conclusions. The analysis of the research results made it possible to argue the thesis that the differences in the formation of individual discourses are directly related to a worldview and indirectly determined by other factors in turn influencing the outlook. The interaction of the worldview with discursive practice that arises in the process of short texts understanding is carried out according to differential scenarios. These scenarios are conditioned by such individual characteristics as discursive conformity and discursive lability, which, in turn, correspond with high and low normativity, respectively. Above features are cognitive in nature. Their ontological localization coincides with the I-language (Chomsky).

Full textAbstract:
This work employs a feminist perspective to examine how some proverbs of the Chaga of Machame portray a sexist ideology that supports patriarchal relations as well as social systems or environments in which women face cultural stereotyping. It discusses the impressions that some proverbs create and how such impressions set rules which govern how women are, should be treated and how they are expected to behave. It has been argued that some life-long gendered attitudes towards women are evident in the selected proverbs and that they take part in the creation of a social system which explains how women are seen, represented and how gender relations are organized, promoted, and shaped. The paper shows that proverbs constitute a powerful rhetorical device for the shaping of moral consciousness, opinions, and beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
This paper interrogates the changing paradigm in the evolution of traditional African proverbs in the postcolonial setting in which Hausa youth create proverbs centered around the power of both social media and their technologies. In this context, the notion of colonized subjects, cowering under the glare of English linguistic imperialism, is challenged by the Hausa youth through newly fabricated social media proverbs that acknowledge English terms, but use social media platforms to convey what I call ‘Hausa technofolk’ philosophy. This provides insight into how contemporary African youth force a new narrative in the notion of coloniality.

Full textAbstract:
The research aims to examine the connection between language, culture, and environment by analyzing the representation of nature in Minangkabau proverbs and its cultural implications and cognitive awareness in traditional Minangkabau society. It is a descriptive study that analyzes meaning and cultural representation through a cultural linguistics approach. The research used 287 proverbs from various written Minangkabau resources, including tambo and books containing Minangkabau proverbs. The study focuses on three sustainability pillars: social, environmental, and economic. The research findings show that Minangkabau proverbs frequently utilize symbolism of nature and the environment to describe and reflect cultural values and rules of Minangkabau customs. The natural representations reveal the close relationship between the Minangkabau people and nature and the cognitive awareness and shared knowledge passed down from generation to generation. The results of this study highlight the need for further research on Minangkabau proverbs to explore cultural values and wisdom that can support program sustainability. Hence, preserving and promoting cultural heritage values are crucial for sustainable development, as it can contribute to socio-economic development and create new values for future generations.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to look at the representation of women in the Oromo proverbs and to evaluate the awareness of the society about the effects of these proverbs on women. To achieve this goal, an attempt was made to collect proverbs that refer to women. The data was collected from pre documented books because of the inconvenience of data collection in the field due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The collected data was translated from the original language ‘Afaan Oromoo` to the target language `English` and finally analyzed and interpreted qualitatively. From the result, women are portrayed both positively and negatively in Oromo proverbs, and the image of a mother and wives are positive. They are represented as excellent house makers and obedient servants of their family. This study, also found out that women are perceived negatively and disrespected in Oromo proverbs. Male dominance and the inferior position and the low status of women are clearly observed. In these proverbs, women are perceived as ignorant, dependent, weak, irresponsible, unpredictable, and as inferior members of their community. In general, the actual characteristics of women are considered as nothing and ideal behaviors are disseminated in proverbs and in cultural trends. The transmission of these proverbs has a contribution to the perpetuation of the negative images of women and this causes women’s negative self-image and their low participation in different social affairs in their community. Therefore, educating women, giving awareness creation training about women’s equality to the society, increasing women’s participation, and discouraging the use of the proverbs that socialize the inferior status of women may be a solution to create a better positive image of women in the society.

Full textAbstract:
Higher education in Ukraine is focused not only on the formation of specific competencies of future specialists, but also on the development of communicative competence, which in necessary for a modern specialist in any professional activity. Therefore, the improvement of training courses on the culture of communication is an actual pedagogical task. Improvement may consist in expanding the philosophical and axiological context of these courses. Such a context creates conditions not only for learning, but also for educating specialists of new generation. To this end, a methodology was developed and tested to introduce folk proverbs with relevant sentences into the courses on the culture of communication. In addition to the practical feasibility of this pedagogical initiative, it also sees a socio-philosophical content. This content is revealed through the understanding of the functions of proverbs in the communicative space of culture in the discourse of the paradigm of theatricality of being. Studies show that in the “theater” of being, folk proverbs are actualized in two aspects: 1) ontological, as “scenarios” of possible life situations and their consequences, which were interpreted popular wisdom; 2) dramaturgical, as “remarks”, capable of filling the “dialogue”/communication with a certain meaning, as a language artistic gesture. Both of these aspects imply an axiological aspect, since they create conditions for the transmission and consolidation of certain values inherent in the national culture. Combining all these aspects in the practice of introducing Ukrainian proverbs into communication culture courses contributes to the formation of additional competence among students - the ability to actualize cultural heritage in the modern conditions of social activity. Expansion (in perspective) of this practice through familiarizing students with similar proverbs of other nations will create the foundation for more effective inter-ethnic, intercultural communications.

This study aimed to produce teaching materials for the meaning of proverbs with a constructivism approach based on inquisitive semantics for high school students. The research was conducted in the Riau Province high school equivalent. A performance test on the interpretation of constructivism approach proverbs that meets the standards of content validity was the main research instrument, along with questionnaires for teachers and a team of experts. A strategy based on constructivism and eight procedures were utilized to create instructional materials for proverbial meaning. The first is a preliminary study. Second, compiling the initial product design. Third, develop the initial product design. Fourth, initial product trials on a limited scale. Fifth, evaluation and revision of the initial product. Sixth, testing the revised product on a broad scale. Based on the study results, the pre-test on the meaning of proverbs was included in the low category, where there was no difference in the category of pre-test results per school group. A high category of post-test results on the meaning of proverbs was discovered, with disparities in the category of post-test results by a school group. There was no variation in categories per class, though. Furthermore, a substantial difference in the use of proverbs was discovered based on the findings of the pre-test and post-test. The seventh stage is to determine and revise the revised product. The eighth step is to present the final product. Because the F count value was 0.283 < the F table value which was 3.15, the test results of teaching materials were of high quality, with no significant differences in the ability to interpret proverbs. This finding suggests that the availability of teaching materials fulfills the feasibility of content, presentation, language, and graphic feasibility, and is appropriate for use in assisting in learning activities.

Full textAbstract:
The advent of the twentieth and the twenty first century has seen languages embrace gender neutrality consciously and these changes in languages have contributed to gender equality. In this regard, the power of languages cannot be ignored in shaping people’s social constructions and their roles in societies. Studies have indicated that languages have the power to create and enforce gender determinism and the marginalisation of the feminine gender. Currently, both English and French have embraced inclusivity, whereby there is a deliberate attempt to move away from the use of the masculine as the default form for nouns, to the use of gender-neutral words. This may not be the case for many other languages of the world. That is why this article investigated the use of prejudiced language in Ekegusii paying particular attention to proverbs or wise sayings. Specifically, the article investigated the gender inferences, the roles and the stereotypical constructions in the proverbs or the wise sayings. It also investigated the effect of these gender inferences on the users’ perceptions in constructing their identities as men or women. The Social Constructionism Theory guided the analysis while a descriptive field linguistic design was used. Judgemental sampling was then used to sample proverbs from the Ekegusii dictionary and thereafter analysed them to determine the gender inferences, the roles, and the perceived gender constructions. The findings revealed that the figurative language used in these proverbs had underlying gendered prejudiced language that perpetuates historical patriarchal hierarchy that denotes men as norm. Further, the gendered prejudiced language outlines roles that influence members of the society to conform to specific societal expectations in line with their gender therefore forming stereotypes. Proverbs or wise sayings mirror essentially, a culture of a given people. Their continued use indicates one’s prowess in a given language and it is deemed prestigious. Therefore, it is hoped that the findings herein will awaken the users on the gendered ideologies in some of the proverbs so that even as they use them, they may conform to the modern trends of gender-neutral language.

Full textAbstract:
The research paper deals with the problems of modern linguistics such as linguistic picture of the world which is realized principally by researching culturally marked linguistic phenomenon. A parent-child relationship is mostly studied by sociology, however, the fact that variety of speech in a parent-child relationship which is reflected in a linguistic image of the world makes it an object for linguistics. In addition to this, the study of the reflection of family relationship in the language enables to carry out a cross-cultural analysis by tools of linguoculturology. As data of the research English and Uzbek proverbs were selected from different sources. Analysis of phraseological units of English and Uzbek proverbs related to a parent-child relationship enabled to reveal similarities, differences, unique and specific features of this type of tradition. The periphery of this phenomenon comprises such notions as “parents are irreplaceable people”, “parents’ love” and “child’s behaviour at different ages”, “child associations” and others. Proverbs create a clear imagination of a parent- child relationship that has enough connotations expressed in the language. The analysis of the research may be implemented in cross-cultural studies, translation lessons and can be useful for a further research in this area.

Visual language or symbolic language is a way of using words to create images to communicate and express thoughts, feelings, will... Stemming from the situational conditions of the country's reality, the requirements of the Vietnamese revolution, and his ability in terms of culture in general and language in particular, Ho Chi Minh often used visual language in his speeches and articles. Using words full of images or creating images to illustrate and explain difficult and abstract issues; creating images through folk songs, proverbs, idioms or creating images by themselves according to the rules of folk songs, proverbs and idioms; using visual language suitable for audience… are typical methods by Ho Chi Minh. These are valuable experiences for our teaching and propaganda today. When applying it to teaching practice, teachers need to be creative and flexible in their local conditions and circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
Language is formed in the context of culture; on the other hand, the culture of a society is reflected in the language's mirror. Language has a cultural backbone as a communication tool. This cultural backing is in fact the basis for the emergence of vocabulary and its conceptual boundaries, as well as the decisive factor in the image and image reflected in the ords and proverbs. Because different ethnic groups have different cultures, there are problems on the path to the relationship between nations and the mutual understanding of languages. The methods of translating proverbs and synopsis as part of language and culture play a
significant role in communicating, despite the fact that some cultural reflections sometimes apply in the above interpretations because of the inappropriateness of the methods of translating neglected. Since one of the goals of translation is to create and promote communication between cultures, ignoring the cultural aspects of texts in translation can reduce the scientific and cultural values of translated works. The present paper seeks to explain this problem and provide some solutions.

Full textAbstract:
The study of gender and language goes beyond just describing the differences between men's and women's linguistic patterns to reveal how language functions as a symbolic method to create and maintain individual, social, and cultural features and identities. Men's and women's linguistic patterns are different, according to research on language and gender. They claim that it is a proven reality caused by unequal and prevalent gender relations.This paper is extracted from the thesis of Ideologies behind Gender Bias in Selected English and Arabic Proverbs: A Pragma-Critical Discourse Analysis, as a prerequisite to be submitted to the Examining Committee.This study investigates the way gender relations are expressed and communicated via the use of English folk proverbs. The major focus of this research is the relationship between language, gender relations, and English culture. As a result, the study focuses on investigating how proverbs play, an important role in gender inequality, and the ideologies that justify them. The research hypothesizes: (1) gender ideologies are manifested discursively and culturally which stand against gender neutrality, (2) gender bias cannot be removed by gender neutrality. The study concludes: (1) that the proverbial discourse shows explicit and implicit ideologies that uphold current gender inequities, (2) gender bias represents the structure of the ideological communities, which is fostered discursively, thus it is an inescapable reality

Perseveration of motifs in Jerzy Ficowski’s poetry Reading Ficowski’s poems requires researchers of his work to be erudites, thanks to which it is easier for them to move smoothly through the meanders of tradition and culture but also of everyday life presented in Ficowski’s image of the world. The image itself consists of the recurring (in every poetry volume) motifs and depictions. While reading Ficowski’s poems it is difficult not to notice this repetitiveness – sometimes exact and detailed, sometimes modified. An attempt to systematize a phenomenon such as perseveration of motifs in Ficowski’s poems led me to identifying the following thematic areas: memory and attitude towards the past, glorification of everyday life and elements belonging to it, proverbs and sayings as elements of folklore occurring in this poetry. In this article, through the analysis of Ficowski’s poems a phenomenon of perseveration of motifs used by a poet to create his own image of the world was shown.Key words: perseveration; past; memory; everyday life; proverbs; myth; folklore;

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a draft of a paroemiological dictionary exemplified by the concepts of friendship and friend in the Russian language. These concepts are universal and are reflected in the paroemiology of different languages. In Russian proverbs and sayings, they create a powerful axiological energy and generate numerous variants and synonyms. The article substantiates the relevance of the paroemiological dictionary. Most currently available dictionaries focus on the corresponding lexemes. However, folklore linguistic units are much more diverse and semantically multifaceted. In the explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, proverbs with the corresponding components are scarce, their sole purpose being to illustrate the lexemes of friend and friendship. The proposed project is intended to fill this gap in the Russian lexicography. The new dictionary is a result of a comprehensive processing of this abundant material. It classifies the lexicographic characteristics according to a single principle, i.e., based on the semantic core of the concepts friend and friendship. The article describes the structure, composition, and other lexicographic parameters of the dictionary.

Full textAbstract:
The carnivalesque late Middle Ages, with passion for proverbs running through all its language strata and love for their visualisation not only through fine arts, but in book artwork as well, are a unique source of research data for the rapidly growing field of multimodality studies. Although verbal and iconic signs are different in nature, they supplement each other and interweave under the book covers of the time to form a semantic and pragmatic unity to influence the receptor holistically. It is worth noting here that the meaning of the “proverb” term is contingent in this context, as it was used by the philosophers, scientists, and literary figures of the time to refer to almost all manner of set phrases. Drawing from a variety of texts belonging to different genres, the article analyses the specifics of how the language and image components interact to create a hybrid semiotic complex. Studying the specifics of semiotic hybridisation as observed in the medieval texts is key to the further development of the historical phraseology as well, especially when it pertains to the issue of visualising persistent lexical complexes. Said significance derives from the fact that the so-called visualised phraseology may serve as a source for the historical phraseology research that would complement the phraseographical data, phraseology found in the literary work, and research insights. This research shows, on the one hand, how text and image of the early stages of the people’s culture and language development become one, and on the other hand how a set lexical unit and the image accompanying it synergise in a given hybrid textual space on both semantic and cognitive levels. Based on historical data, the article showcases how multimodality has become a complex semiotic phenomenon intrinsic to any society employing not only language, but other complex systems of signs as well. A complex lexico-semantic nature of the special semantics linguistic units being visualised is one of the key factors in rendering the interaction between these two modalities unique.

This article uses a qualitative method. This research discusses the implementation of Christian religious education in families in the era of society 5.0 which is dominated by digital technology. Current advances often create significant problems, such as reliance on social media and a lack of face-to-face interaction between people; Because of excessive and uncontrolled use. This has the potential to damage family harmony and intimacy, including in practicing religious values. This research offers an educational and exemplary approach as a relevant and theological method that parents can use to instill Christian values in families in the era of society 5.0. The education approach refers to direct and directed teaching, while the example approach refers to the attitude of parents setting the right example for their children. The two approaches offered are based on two Bible texts, namely; Titus 2:6-7 and Proverbs 29:17. The narrative of Titus 2:6-7 emphasizes the importance of proper example from parents to children, while the narrative of Proverbs 29:17 emphasizes the importance of proper education from parents to children. The final conclusion of this study is that educational methods and examples are very relevant and accurate when used by parents in implementing Christian religious education in families in the era of society 5.0

The aim of the study is to build a database of paremiological units for a neurocognitive test to assess the state of cognitive functions in patients with diabetes mellitus. To identify the most relevant and frequent paremiological units, we conducted a survey among native speakers of the Russian language. The paper describes an experiment conducted on the Yandex.Toloka site. As a result, we received 36900 descriptions of the figurative meanings of proverbs and sayings. The respondents properly interpreted 86 units of G. L. Permyakov’s paremiological minimum (from 85 % to 100% of correct interpretations), 11 units caused significant difficulties (from 35 % to 65 % of correct interpretations). Particular attention was paid to the analysis of the most characteristic cases connected with incorrect explaining of the figurative meanings of some units. In general, the base being created includes 56 proverbs and sayings interpreted correctly by the largest number of the informants (95 % or more). The scientific novelty of the study is its large-scale survey, conducted with the help of modern technologies, identifying the paremiological units mostly spread among native speakers of the Russian language. We selected linguistically validated material, which made it possible to create the basis of a new tool for assessing the state of cognitive functions in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Throughout human history narratives have had crucial function to construct a society with meanings culturally binding its members and to sustain them for generations in society. Epic stories, proverbs, historical tales are such narratives which, in particular, form patterns for the “shared conceptual framework” of members of a culture. Thus narratives, in a broadest sense, circulate within a society through individual memories of its members and serve to communicate and create meanings by operating like language.Films Bread and Roses by Ken Loach (2000) and Maid in Manhattan (2002) by Wayne Wange intersect with their narrative tools indicating how individual and cultural memory overlap and contested globally within international film industry.

When social ties are put to the test, proverbs affirm, those of consanguinity usually prevail: “Blood is thicker than water”; or as Arabs put it, “Blood is thicker than milk” (Lane 1893:1097). These enigmatic adages refer to former institutions ofadoptive kinshipin western Eurasia, contrasting the blood of natal kinship with the water of baptism or “spiritual kinship” in Christendom, and with infant fosterage or “milk kinship” in Islam. Other sayings, cited as epigraphs above, argue that the nurture of such adoptive kinship may match or supersede natal kinship, just as baptismal sponsorship was supposed to create a spiritual cognation superior to that of mere flesh and blood (Gudeman 1972; Guerreau-Jalabert 1995).

In this paper, literature is considered as a corpus for the study of phraseology. Specifically, the novel analysed is L’empire du Mensonge by Aminata Sow Fall, one of the most outstanding figures in Senegalese literature. Applying the theoretical-methodological foundations initially proposed, the reading of this novel has allowed to create an inventory list of twenty-five phraseological units (locutions, proverbs, and routine formulae), not of French, but of the author’s first language, namely Wolof. With this work, and due to the peculiarity of the novel under analysis, in which an outstanding presence of words and statements of the Wolof language can be found, I contemplate a double purpose in its use of phraseology: as a stylistic resource used in order to be understood by the Senegalese reader, and as the expression of identity

We discuss the means and methods of public education in ethnic socialization of modern school students. We reveal the subject and objectives of ethnopedagogics, disclose the possibility of such means of public education as verbal actions (proverbs, songs, tales, legends, traditions), traditional folk games, folklore, customs, traditions, etc. We show that the positive experience gained by folk pedagogy is insufficiently used in modern practice of educational institutions. We emphasize that the transition to the new federal state educational standards of general education will create conditions for ethnic and cultural education of schoolchildren through the organization of extracurricular activities on the basis of national traditions and values of Russian and world culture. The analysis provides a basis for concluding that the it is necessary to allocate the value bases of the folk experience of children socialization, suitable for the present time, and the implementation of the best achievements of folk pedagogy in the practice of modern educational institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The essay discusses Ezenwa–Ohaeto's use of the masquerade () minstrel as a paradigm in his experimentation with language in his poetry. Such experimentation with local African oral aesthetics is common in postcolonial African literature, and has been one way that African writers have hoped to create authenticity for their writings. Ezenwa–Ohaeto in his poetry, however, does not practise this experimentation as a mere identification and use of for the minstrel (for instance in the use of proverbs, paradoxical expressions, etc. culturally associated with the persona), but reworks and re-contextualizes the local expressions. His attention to language, though not entirely successful, reveals the project on the localization of the language of African poetry as being worth-while if it treats the local sayings as raw materials from which something new must be created. The African poet who is able to take language beyond what the indigenous sources have provided is the real "shepherd" of chants.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes the peculiarities of the actualization of the category of informativeness in a relatively new genre of online literature – short short / ultra-short English stories. An ultra-short story (microstory) is a text with a limited number of words (from 6 to 1000 words). A micronarrative has a unique feature of hiding or implying a larger story. In other words, most of the information in the ultra-short story is conveyed implicitly. The reader himself has to decode what was not said, to restore the hidden, implicit meaning (subtext). To create a subtext, authors of microprose use different linguistic and stylistic means. The article deals with the use of such means as metaphor, metonymy, allusion, pun, periphrasis, euphemism, abbreviations, aposiopesis, ellipsis, idiomatic expressions, proverbs and sayings, connotative meanings of words etc. Decoding of the nonverbalized content in an ultra-short story often requires a certain amount of time, intellectual effort, specific knowledge, intense mental work of the reader.

The COVID-19 witnessed varied enactment of leadership by political leaders around the world in response to its threat. With COVID-19 recovery policies shining a spotlight on government’s future action, the leadership of global political figures is once again scrutinised on how they ‘build back better’ the damages caused by the pandemic. This study analyses the COVID-19 post- recovery speeches of the world’s most powerful leaders to gain an understanding of their enactment of discursive leadership. Focusing on solidarity, this study elucidates the processes and identifies how it is linguistically constituted as part of their aims to create bonds with international allies. The analysis reveals that the construction of solidarity is done through storytelling and, proverbs and metaphors. The findings have led to a deeper understanding of discursive leadership and solidarity practices in political discourse, and is hoped to be useful to researchers to understand exemplary discursive practices pertinent to solidarity building.

The author of this sketch attempts to reach the understanding and verbalization of a notion belonging to the sphere of political life, which is apparently important for secondary schools students, namely anarchy. The answer to the question: “How does a school a young man attends affects understanding of the meaning of this word?”, has also become crucial. The research embraced one hundred students altogether from two types of schools: secondary school of general education and secondary technical school . It appeared that the youth from both groups hold reluctant attitude towards the wordnotion anarchy. Evaluating this phenomenon negatively, young people do it in the following way: they verbalize it directly; they recall featured synonyms of this notion characterizing it in a clear-cut way; they create collocations of the noun freedom with negative evaluation epithets which are supposed to be the answer to the question what anarchy is; they use common quotations, proverbs and sayings; or they use laconic statements that are clearly expressing disapproval of this state. The most noticeable differences between the respondents are mainly of formal character. Explaining the meaning of the analyzed category, the youth of secondary technical school show significantly worse skills as compared to their peers from secondary school of general education, who create less successful verbalizations.

Memorialized in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s children’s book entitled It Takes a Village, “it takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that means an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. The need of the artist to create is undeniable and their villages continue to support them. During these dark days of the COVID-10 pandemic, performing and fine artists have been denied their traditional communication with their public as theaters and museums closed down throughout the world. For those of us who live in New York City where the worst of Covid-19 hit last spring, it was no Broadway shows, no spring, summer or fall dance seasons, no summer festivals, no dance classes. Yet almost immediately, artists’ resourcefulness shone as they continued to create, teach, and perform their art in new ways.

In living their social life, humans are bound by various life guidelines to create harmony between communities. One can be taken from the values contained in literary works traditionally maintained among the community, such as oral traditions. This study aims to describe the oral tradition in the Berasan event, a consensus deliberation event by Bengkulu city community leaders preparing for marriage, and explain its noble values as guidelines in social life. Using the descriptive qualitative method, the main data in this research is obtained from sentences delivered by Berasan participants in the form of conversation using the Bengkulu local language. The data was collected directly by listening to the Berasan event, interviewing the customary leader, and using the customary leader's unpublished personal documents. The results showed that the Berasan event is full of figurative sentences, namely rhymes, and proverbs, to convey intentions and goals. While the noble values implied in it include: religious values, humility, unity, empathy, and firmness. It needs to be preserved to maintain the stability of social relations in the Bengkulu city community.

Full textAbstract:
Spiritual texts implicitly contain rules and recommendations for the construction of speech communication. These rules are derived from direct references to the language-speech-word, or indicate speech actions or language actions. The texts of the Psalter, the book of Proverbs of Solomon, and the Holy Gospel are selected for this article. The author identified direct or hidden references to the terms language-speech-word-mouth that express judgments about the content or evaluation of these words in the life of a person. All these terms are used in the sense of “an instrument of communication, an instrument of organizing human contacts.” And they all receive a fundamentally dual moral and ethical assessment: language-speech-word can either “praise God” and be “words of good,” carry “joy in the response of the mouth,” or become an instrument of evil (“slander”), deception (“flattery”), suffering and destruction (“flood verbs”). Compared with oral pre-literate speech in folklore at a new stage of civilization development, these terms have acquired new meanings in written and printed literature: the term language obtains the meaning of “people” (in the Psalter), the term word becomes of overriding importance for European culture as the Word of God (the Holy Gospel), and the term mouth is metaphorically used most frequently in the Proverbs of Solomon. The revealed position in regard to the primacy of moral and ethical requirements for the speaker in the preparation of speech, when “pure heart” is mentioned first (“create a pure heart in me, oh God”), about righteousness and wisdom (in “Parables”), about the qualities of a person (see the Beatitudes), and only then it is about actions “of the tongue and mouth.” The duality of assessments of language-speech-word also speaks of the dual nature of man, who either “praises God with his mouth” or receives “judgment” for idle and false words. The analysis of judgments about language-speech-word-mouth in spiritual texts allows us to form recommendations and instructions for language acts and actions of a modern person who must preserve moral and cultural traditions and creatively apply the newly revealed rules in their own speech acts.

A Chinese proverb says “being willing to be leaves to set off the beauty of flowers”, which encourages individuals learn to giving yourself to create harmony. Similarly, there are various kinds of architecture in a city, what kinds of buildings should be the flowers, what kinds of buildings should be the leaves? In regard to the leaves, what kind of attitude should we hold toward them？And what are specific design strategies for the leaves? Through analyzing and summarizing some typical examples, this paper discusses and demonstrates how to adopt an integrative way to balance the relationship between different kind of buildings like the leaves and the flowers from the view of urban design. Moreover, raising awareness of the importance of “non-landmark buildings” design is the aim of this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Maternal and children’s folklore is considered as one of the unique phenomena of Russian folk culture. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the genres of oral folk art not only lay the foundations for the transmission of spiritual traditions to subsequent generations, but also contribute to the formation of a child’s national identity. The definitions of “creative abilities” as a concept are given in relation to the primary school age, since at this stage in the child’s personality a number of properties that characterize him as a creator are manifested. It is proved that the use of examples from lullabies or legends, fairy tales, proverbs and riddles broadens the horizons of children, create patriotic feelings, awakens interest in History, Literature and develops speech. The former allows developing the creative abilities of primary schoolchildren. The author dwells on the psychological, pedagogical and methodological conditions necessary for the development of creative abilities. In particular, with the help of works of oral folk art included in the process of teaching and upbringing, it is possible to develop children’s creative abilities. Keywords: creativity, primary school age, education, upbringing, oral folk art, children’s folklore, maternal folklore.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the article is to give an overview of the vernacular reactions to the corona crisis in Estonia, based on COVID-19-related folklore collected from written, oral, and online sources from March to June 2020, i.e., during the emergency situation established due to the coronavirus. The methodological approach of the article was a context-dependent comparative content analysis studying the functioning of thematic texts in the wider trans- and multi-media communicative process. The similarities and modifications in the content, structure, format, and function of the subject matter as well as people’s attitudes, expressions, ways of information synthesis and narrative generation in the respective social context were placed under the microscope. By giving examples of thematic religious lore, memes, and proverbs, we point out how certain core motifs and core texts become actualised whenever a new epidemic occurs. We presume that the recycling of known and tested motifs in order to give meaning to the situation helps mitigate the unpredictability arising from the epidemic and determine the borders of danger and safety with the help of narrative, thereby increasing the sense of coping, although some folk motifs may also create or deepen fears and irrational behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Keijirō Suga coins the term “translational poetics” to describe the essential similarities between literary translation and creative writing, since both perform a linguistic revolution or transformation. Japanese-German writer, Yoko Tawada, exhibits a literary style that exemplifies this transformative and interactive potential of language, deriving from her self-described existence in the “poetic ravine” or border zone between languages and identities. Many of the characters in her works are also travelers and lack a sense of national identity or most-comfortable language. Tawada forces her readers to question their belief in the naturalness of their native language through a defamiliarizing style that often involves wordplay, such as humorously drawing attention to the literal meaning behind commonly-used idioms and proverbs. This paper focusses on an excerpt from Yoko Tawada’s 2002 work Yōgisha no yakōressha, “To Zagreb”, and its English translation by Margaret Mitsutani, considering how the defamiliarizing effects of Tawada’s wordplay can be conveyed to an English audience. While double meanings and puns are inevitably achieved differently in the two languages, various translation strategies may create similar effects, such as making Japanese and English creatively interact, or exploiting the inherent possibilities of wordplay in English.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to examine the symbolic aesthetic concepts that exist in Sundanese society and culture in West Java, Indonesia. The symbolic meaning that exists or is applied to forms that are known in art and design. With the method of interpretation and using Sundanese as a source of research, several expressions and proverbs are found that use the basic shapes, namely squares, triangles and circles. The results of this study indicate that there are symbolic meanings of the three basic forms which indicate that in Sundanese culture there is awareness of the existence of these basic forms and give them symbolic meanings. These basic forms are generally sourced from objects found in nature. The meaning of this basic form refers to a certain function that is applied according to the character of the basic form in its implementation. This symbolic meaning generally refers to efforts to create cultural values towards perfection. The meaning of this basic shape can be used for the meaning of the basic shape used in designs with a local cultural approach, especially in areas where the culture grows and develops.
