Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Dear Sri Chilukuri Bhuvaneswar, I will certainly pass on to you any examples of proverbial usage I come across. Proverbs are, in my experience, generally regarded as cliches by my own generation (I'm 35) and as such are not widely used in everyday conversation except ironically. I suspect that those of my mother's generation and of her mother's, certainly, would be more like to make use of proverbial constructions (at least, that's the stereotype). What's your thesis concerning proverbs? Best wishes, Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 My dear noble devotee of Sri Sankara Bhagavatpujyapada, Thank you very much for your kind reply.I am indeed very grateful to you. I am working on A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Telugu and English Proverbs. I am trying to find out the essential ,secondary ,and uncommon characteristics of proverbs. Even though proverbs is the core of my research ,it it overflows from the base of linguistic insights of discourse,and formal and functional and cognitive linguistics. Flowers leave fragrance in the hands that bestow them! Yours in Sri Sankara Bhagavatpujyapada's love.
