The representation of «woman» in english proverbs

Abstract

Proverbs were first employed verbally without any supporting evidence in recorded literature, according to their origins. They have their origins in a country’s oral traditions. Folk literature known as proverbs condenses the nation’s knowledge into a few sentences. Proverbs, like other forms of folk literature like jokes and riddles, do not just appear out of thin air or are the creations of mythological beings; rather, they are always the products of human invention, whether done knowingly or unknowingly. The national mentality and national symbols of spiritual culture, etc., which have a direct relationship to socio cultural characters, are among the macro-components of the content structure of proverbs and sayings. These also include the social psychology of the language community’s members, the myriad contradictions and aspects of life, relationships between individuals and the community, and national mentality.
