Content:
The main purpose of the publication is to present a linguo-cultural picture of traditional values (such as the value of life, freedom, dignity, family, religion, community, truth, good, beauty, and God) reflected in Anglo-American and Polish paremiology. The author analyzes the proverbs with the use of semantic approach and divides them into several thematic categories and subcategories related to the sphere of values. The paremiological analysis carried out from a contrastive perspective provides additional evidence to support the claim that, despite some widespread axiological views common to languages, there exist distinct differences characteristic only of a given linguo-culture, naturally caused by different, among others, geographical, historical, social, and cultural environments.
Note:
Anglo-American and Polish value-related proverbs - linguistic culturology (language and culture relation) - contrastive paremiography and paremiology - semantic approach to contrastive paremiology - personal values (life, freedom, and dignity) encoded in proverbs - common values (family, community, religion) encoded in proverbs
