Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper explores the study of proverbs—paremiology—as a multidisciplinary field intersecting linguistics, folklore, literature, and cultural studies. It outlines the national and international contributions to proverb collection, classification, and analysis, particularly emphasizing their semantic, structural, and cultural significance. The research traces the historical evolution of paremiological studies in Uzbek and global contexts, analyzing the linguistic, stylistic, and sociocultural implications of proverbs as both oral and written expressions. The article highlights the foundational role of early works and contemporary methodologies in paremiology and discusses its ongoing relevance in ethnolinguistics and interlingual comparison.
