Paremiological Texts and the Linguo-cognitiveanalysis of Zoonymic Components.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the role of zoonymic components (animal-related terms) in paremiological texts (proverbs, sayings, and idiomatic expressions) through the lens of linguo-cognitive analysis. Proverbs serve as linguistic repositories of cultural wisdom, and zoonymic elements often encode metaphorical and cognitive meanings. By analyzing a selected corpus of proverbs across multiple languages, this research uncovers how animal references shape human perception, conceptual metaphors, and cultural attitudes toward animals. The findings contribute to cognitive linguistics, paremiology, and cross-cultural studies, highlighting the universal and culture-specific aspects of zoonymic proverbs.
