“…Gregorii Permiakov researched the basic set of proverbs, proverbial phrases, and related phrases known by adult Russians and coined the term paremiological 2 minimum to describe such efforts (Permiakov 1989). Similar research has been undertaken in Hungary (Vargha 2007), and North America (Chlosta 1995;Lau 1986). In each case the goal has been to assess knowledge and formulate the shared set of familiar proverbs for the given society.…”

Past attempts at using proverbs for cultural analysis have provided questionable results. There has been an overreliance on comparable proverbs from other cultures (Mieder 1981) or the search for “underlying” static cultural traits (Bartlotti 2000). The current paper explores the potential of using frame analysis (Goffman 1974; Johnston 2002; Snow 1986) and circulation studies (Spitulnik 2001) as methods better suited to explicating societal change. The two methods are complementary: circulation studies aiding understanding of the process of proverb use; frame analysis allowing for insight on the meaning of familiar proverbs. Rather than explore perspectives of the culture in general, I selected college students in Almaty, Kazakhstan as the group to be investigated. The current generation of students in Kazakhstan is unique, since they have only known an independent and Post‐Soviet fatherland. As they have grown up, the country has been in the throes of redefining itself as a society. Part of this process has been reestablishing Kazakh as the national language. Field research was carried out among university students at the Kazakh National Technical University in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Surveys provided information about the most familiar proverbs out of the proverb set concerning “community”. Analysis of the survey results showed that the population functions using proverbs as a speech community, a group able to communicate with each other effectively. Surveys and proverb encounter reenactments will provide the type of data necessary for circulation studies and frame analysis to establish a baseline concerning proverbial perspectives concerning “community” among Kazakh‐speaking college students.

“…Антипословицы представляют собой глобальное явление, исследованием которого занимаются ученыепаремиологи во всем мире. К настоящему моменту проведена большая работа по изучению антипословиц на материале немецкого языка в трудах В. Мейдера [18][19][20] и Э. Госслер [14]; французскогов работах П. Барта [12] и П. Мигнавал [21]; русскогов исследованиях Х. Вальтер и В. М. Мокиенко [3], А. М. Мелерович [6]; венгерскогов работах А. Литовкиной [20] и К. Варги [25], Т. Валдаевой [24]. С конца XX в. наблюдается процесс активизации антипословиц во многих языках мира, включая турецкий, что приводит некоторых исследователей к мысли о том, что данный процесс обусловлен сходными причинами: налицо не только бытование антипословиц в разных языках, но и сходство в механизмах их создания [10, с.…”

В настоящей статье на основе анализа турецких антипословицкратких изречений юмористического характера, формируемых путем искажения классических пословиц,автором выявляются самые распространенные способы их образования. Отмечается, что основным приемом создания антипословиц является однокомпонентная лексическая замена. Прослеживаются причины активизации антипословиц в турецком языке на рубеже XX-XXI вв., продиктованные коренными переломами в жизни страны, сменой темпов экономического развития, векторной ориентацией на традиции Запада. В связи с этим дается характеристика трансформации традиционных ценностей турецкого социума, неизбежно нашедшей свое художественное воплощение в антипословицах.

Introduction to Paremiology: A Comprehensive Guide to Proverb Studies

Paremiology is researching the origin, development and the existence of paremies, i. e. proverbs, folk and weather sayings and riddles.Attempts to establish a paremiological minimum have still been oriented on the concept of the set of proverbs that all members of society know or an average adult is expected to know. So the concept of paremiological minimum has been in fact reduced to proverbs, which an average adult is expected to be familiar with. Thus, the proper term used should be the proverbial minimum. The traditional methods used to elicit answers from informants are based on the lists of proverbs or proverb beginnings and informants are asked to state their active or passive knowledge or add the missing part. Another method used is to list all the proverbs which could informants think of during a certain period. One of the first scholars who used demographic methods with proverbs was the American sociologist William Albig (1931). 68 university students were asked to list all the proverbs they could think of during a thirty minute period. A total of 1443 proverbs were written down, out of which 442 were different proverbs (Albig, 1931: 532). The concept of paremiological minimum was first developed by Grigorij Permjakov (1973, 1982). The spontaneous question "And what is then a paremiological maximum?" couldn´t be answered reliably at least due to following reasons. Firstly, there are different opinions what a proverb is, what the boundaries of it in comparison to other types of multiword units and other fixed sentences are, secondly there are no comprehensive collections or exhaustive demographic investigation of all proverbs in a language. The biggest proverb collections include as a rule a mixture of all types of fixed phrases from different historical periods. The author of the biggest collection of German proverbs Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wander included in his work Das Deutsche Sprichwörter-Lexikon (1867)127 more than 250 000 items. Valerij Mokijenko estimates the number of proverbs in Russian at more than 150 000 items (Mokijenko, 2012: 81). The demographic attempts have still been limited to small samples of items examined by small numbers of informants, not representative regarding age, sex, regional and educational dispersion of the population. Gregorij Permjakov128 conducted in 1970s paremiological experiments to find out the minimum set of Russian proverbs that all people know. A group of informants living in and near Moscow were 127 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanders_Deutsches_Sprichw%C3%B6rter-Lexikon 128 See the detailed bibliography of G. L. Permjakov´s work in Grzybek, 1984.
