  • A Proverb Revival? On Current Proverb Use in the German-Speaking Part of Switzerland

    Open Access•Hrisztalina Hrisztova-Gotthardt•ARTICLE•Tautosakos darbai•2026

    The paper’s main objective is to examine the current paremiological situation in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and to investigate to what extent proverbs are present in modern language use, the specific areas and contexts in which they play an essential role, and whether they are used more often in their original or modified forms. For this purpose, a corpus of examples illustrating the current use of traditional and modern proverbs, as…

  • The visual representations of a Biblical proverb and its modifications in the Internet space

    Open Access•Hrisztalina Hrisztova-Gotthardt, Melita Aleksa Vargas et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Humour Research•2020•References: 5

    Proverbs have never been considered sacrosanct; on the contrary, they have frequently been used as satirical, ironic or humorous comments on a given situation. In the last few decades, they have been perverted and parodied so extensively that their variations have been sometimes heard more often than their original forms. Naturally, the most well-known Biblical proverbs are very frequently transformed and modified in various languages. “He who di…

  • Polysémie, homonymie et homophonie dans les proverbes détournés — avec des exemples Français, Hongrois, Anglais, Allemands et Russes

    Peter Barta, Peter I Barta et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Ethnographica Hungarica•2009

    On the basis of French, Hungarian, English, German and Russian corpora of anti-proverbs (deliberate proverb innovations, also known as alterations, mutations, parodies, transformations, variations, wisecracks, and fractured proverbs), we examine word play based on polysemy, homonymy, and homophony. After a survey of the proverbs most frequently used for these types of alteration, this study investigates anti-proverbs linked to the theme of sexual…

  • Paronomasie oder wie ein Sprichwort zum Antisprichwort wird

    Hrisztalina Hrisztova-Gotthardt, Anna Litovkina et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Ethnographica Hungarica•2009•References: 3

    Paronomasia is a popular form of wordplay often used to transform proverbs into antiproverbs (deliberate proverb innovations, also known as alterations, mutations, parodies, transformations, variations, wisecracks, and fractured proverbs) by replacing certain phonemes with similar ones, or by adding or omitting phonemes. The present paper describes and exemplifies this sort of pun by using selected German, Hungarian, English, French and Russian l…

  • Most frequent types of alteration in Anglo-American, German, French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs

    Anna Litovkina, Анна Т Литовкина et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Ethnographica Hungarica•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    Proverbs have never been considered sacrosanct; on the contrary, they have frequently been used as satirical, ironic or humorous comments on a given situation. Wolfgang Mieder has coined the term “Antisprichwort” (anti-proverb) for such deliberate proverb innovations (also known as alterations, mutations, parodies, transformations, variations, wisecracks, fractured proverbs). The focus of this study is on different mechanisms of variation in Angl…

  • Modifizierte Bulgarische Sprichwörter Im Lichte der Pragmatik

    Hrisztalina Hrisztova-Gotthardt•ARTICLE•Acta Ethnographica Hungarica•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    Proverbs typically considered to be traditional sayings that give advice or express general truths based on age-old human experience. Nevertheless, they have never been considered as items expressing the absolute truth. It was their didactic wisdom that was appreciated and passed onto the next generations. People also noticed that proverbs were not always to be accepted and followed as universal laws of behaviour, so they reacted humorously or sa…
