The role of proverbs and sayings in language and culture

Abstract

Proverbs and sayings are wonderful, broadly utilized in discourse, steady, brief expressions. There are two signs impossible to miss as it were to proverbs. Usually these are the generalizations of the settings of idioms as well as teacher, enlightening nature. The largest collector of legends V.I. Dahl within the XIX century so formulated the determination of proverbs: “Proverb- a brief story, sentence, teaching” [24, p. 142]. The saying is void of generalizing meaning and teacher. The sayings do not generalize anything, they do not instruct anybody. V. Dahl composed around the idioms: “Sayings are an indirect phrase,  metaphorical discourse, a basic moral story, the manner of form in which a thing is expressed in words, but except a story as well as assertion, completion. The proverb replaces as it were the coordinate discourse, does not concerts, in some cases and does not title things, but conditionally exceptionally clearly hints” [24, p. 191].

Shalabayev defined the idioms as a figurative, short, notorious phrase, practical, rhythmic and practical in practice. The word is an imaginative, rhythmic sentence. Unlike the proverb, it is obvious that there is no gesture in it, but the sentence is incomplete. Though, the author did not pay attention to the prologue, the history of development, collection and publication. A genre does not fully describe its features and relationships with other genres [15, p 56].
