Abstract

Every language has its own sets of proverbs, owing their origin to literary works or religious books. Proverbs from different languages are popular and used many times by all people. Many authors and the story-tellers use the provers quite often to emphasis their points and perceptions. The political orators as well as the religious preachers use the proverbs from their respective religions to make their points strong and convincing. Proverbs are words of wisdom or simple home truths expressed in a sentence often metaphoric or metonymic in nature. Proverbs and sayings of metonymic nature are the least studied part of the modern paremiological foundation. The relevance of this work is bound to the growing interest to Oriental and European languages and intercultural communication, because paremiological units contain specific knowledge about the people speaking the language, their culture, history, etc.
