Linguistic Stereotypes : Crosscultural Analysis of Proverbs
The aim of this paper is to analyse proverbs as linguistic stereotypes from a semantic point of view. The sample of proverbs is randomly chosen from 3 national collections: Croatian, English and Italian.The results of the analysis show that quite a small number of proverbs (about 10%) reflect traditional values and customs which are specific to one culture only. It seems that their universal character makes an ethnocentric approach nearly unacceptable.A high percentage of proverbs (90%) share a very strong mutual resemblance despite all the differences stemming from ethnic, geographic, historical and language factors. Finally we can make a conclusion that the universality and transferability are the most prominent features of the proverbs.
