Peribahasa berperanan untuk menyampaikan sesuatu mesej secara implisit bagi menegur atau memuji kelakuan seseorang tanpa menyinggung perasaannya berdasarkan konteks situasi dan budaya. Nilai moral pula berupaya untuk membentuk pemikiran yang luhur dan sahsiah yang baik. Makalah ini mengetengahkan operasi metafora bagi peribahasa Melayu dan peribahasa Tamil bersandarkan nilai kerajinan menerusi rantau konsepsi Teori Hibrid yang digagaskan oleh Tendahl (2009). Rantau konsepsi ini terdiri daripada konsep leksikal, konsep ad hoc dan slot kosong yang merangkumi domain, skema imej, metafora konsepsi dan metonimi konsepsi. Kajian ini berbentuk kajian kualitatif yang melibatkan kaedah analisis kandungan. Tumpuan secara terperinci diberikan kepada satu data peribahasa Melayu dan satu data peribahasa Tamil yang digunakan pada peringkat sekolah rendah sahaja. Analisis kajian mendapati bahawa pengkonsepsian nilai kerajinan bagi peribahasa Melayu dan peribahasa Tamil memfokuskan usaha dan kegigihan. Amalan kehidupan masyarakat Melayu dan India memperlihatkan persamaan dan perbezaan dari segi nilai budaya dan falsafah peribahasa secara jelas. Pengaplikasian Teori Hibrid memaparkan satu trend baharu dalam merungkaikan akal budi masyarakat tradisional secara komprehensif dan menjelaskan pragmatik leksikal.
This study aims to examine the conceptualisation of the diligence value in the Malay and Tamil proverbs based on the Hybrid Theory. This is a qualitative research design using the content analysis method. The research data are all of the proverbs denoting the value of diligence found in the Malay and Tamil textbooks used in the primary level but only four proverbs from these textbooks are part of the analysis. The analysis of the operational metaphor for each proverb is based on the domain features contained in the conceptual space defined in the Hybrid Theory. Additionally, the Malay and Tamil proverbs have its own moral values and philosophical foundations based on each context of the respective society. We suggest that the conceptual space visualises the similarities and differences in the comparison of the Malay and Tamil proverbs. The analysis displays a new approach in conceptualising proverbs according to the Malay and Tamil cultural thinking in tandem with the intellectual advancements of the respective tradition. Hence, this study of proverbs indirectly reveals a new perspective on the semantic-pragmatic aspects in Malay and Tamil civilizations for the readers.
