Keywords:

Proverbs are an essential component of language, encapsulating cultural wisdom, social norms, and moral values in concise linguistic forms. This article examines the study of proverbs within the field of linguistics, focusing on their structure, semantic properties, and pragmatic functions. It explores how proverbs reflect cultural identity, convey universal human experiences, and serve as tools for effective communication. The article also highlights methodological approaches used in analyzing proverbs, including comparative studies, semantic analysis, and discourse analysis. Findings suggest that understanding proverbs from a linguistic perspective provides valuable insights into language structure, cultural context, and the interplay between language and society.
