Widely considered the world's greatest living proverb scholar and known as the author of, among numerous other books, the Encyclopedia of World Proverbs and the coeditor of A Dictionary of American Proverbs, Wolfgang Mieder has brought particular attention and understanding to the uses of proverbs in politics. In this new collection of eight essays, he considers the role of proverbial speech in the American political scene from the Revolutionary War to the present. Mieder introduces this survey with an examination of what characterizes American proverbs, what are their origins, and how they have spread internationally with the expansion of America's political role. He then turns to the origins and varied historical uses of what has become the defining proverb of American democracy, "government of the people, by the people, for the people." The employment of proverbs had no brighter exponent among the nation's founding generation than Abigail Adams, who was not without influence despite the exclusion from political office of women. As they have for so much, her abundant letters provide rich sources for politically charged proverbs. Though it is especially associated with Abraham Lincoln, "a house divided against itself cannot stand" is a biblical proverb that has proven of wide value as a political expression. Frederick Douglass's proverbial prowess paralleled that of his contemporary Lincoln, and he employed it effectively in his battle for civil rights. Given proverbs' enduring role in American politics, it is an interesting exercise to compare how United States presidents have employed them in their inaugural addresses, which have produced such gems as John F. Kennedy's "ask not" dictum. The bonds Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill formed through the World War II alliance were expressed in the proverbial language that frequently enlivened their correspondence. Having addressed these aspects of the proverb in American politics, Mieder winds up by considering the sociopolitical significance of the ambiguous proverb "good fences make good neighbors." ; https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/usupress_pubs/1081/thumbnail.jpg

This study aims to explain the function of proverbs as an educational media in the socio-cultural life of Wolio people in Southeast Sulawesi. The method used in this study was a descriptive qualitative in anthropological linguistics perspective. Data collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis departs from language analysis and then cultural analysis. This study concludes that Wolio proverb as an educational medium has five important functions in the social life of Wolio people, namely as a means to: (1) teach linguistic knowledge, (2) train the performance of Wolio young people in speaking, (3) instill values wisdom for young people, (4) controlling young people's behavior to conform to agreed norms, and (5) educating Wolio youths to own and uphold their life principles. From these findings, this study confirms that proverbs are a good educational medium because they contain linguistic knowledge and positive cultural values so that they must be kept and preserved by their supporting communities. The role of the government is very important to support the preservation of this proverb.

Poslovice su i bile i jesu važno jezično sredstvo, te prema tome bi i učenik stranog jezika morao raspolagati jednim fondom poslovica, i to, radi nijansiranja i proširivanja jezične kompetencije i radi poboljšanja prevodilačke sposobnosti. Kontrastiranje poslovica poboljšuje nastavu stranog jezika. Kontrastiran je poslovica, općenito gledano, pokazuje koja su područja opisana poslovicama, tko ih i zašto ih upotrebljava, dok kontrastiranje pojedinačnih poslovica opisuje karakteristike njihove vanjske i unutrašnje strukture. Razlozi za kontrastiranje mogu biti lingvističke i ne-lingvisličke naravi, Članak predstavlja okvir mogućih kontrastivnih radova za hrvatski ili srpski i njemački jezik, budući da na ovom području nije baš mnogo napravljeno.

This paper evaluates postproverbial (re)constructions of selected Igbo proverbs and the 'altering alternatives' regenerated from the original Igbo proverbs. Eighteen randomly selected Igbo proverbs, the proverbial expressions and their postproverbial (re)constructions were subjected to critical analysis. The study revealed that there are noticeable changings in rendering of the selected proverbs. These changings occur largely either due to lack of an in-depth knowledge in the usage of the traditional proverbs, disconnection with the custodians/sources of the Igbo proverbs, urbanisation influence on the Igbo speakers or both. Hence the manufacturing of the 'altering alternatives', known as postproverbials. The paper, therefore, urges Igbo language speakers and the would-be users, to draw closer by retracing their step in the choice and usage of Igbo proverbs against the near-overbearing influence of proverbials on the autochthonous, symbolic, semantic, and philosophical essence of Igbo traditional proverbs.
