Stilul "Proverbial"

Abstract

A proverb is, first of all, an act of language. The creation of the proverb-text is related to the existence of ’proverbial patterns’, which allows for the extension of their usage from the colloquial and familiar styles, in the journalistic jargon, in advertising slogans and in the work of certain writers. Based on these aspects one can speak of a ”closed” proverbial style, but with an ”overt” corpus which the current paper approaches.
