Living by the Golden Rule: Mentor – Scholar – World Citizen
Abstract:This paper discusses new perspectives for a usage-based paremiology from a corpus-linguistic point of view. Using the example of proverb patterns, it shows different degrees of fixedness and proverb quality in German-English contrast. An interesting insight is that proverb similarities and differences can also be described by restrictions of semi-abstract schemes.
