Welcome to ProSE (Proverbs and Sayings in Europe)!
In three contributions Gyula Paczolay already offers a collection of European proverbs and sayings. Paczolay also includes non-European languages and thus finds out that none of his proverbs is exclusively European. However, Paczolay uses Europe in its geographical sense, while ELiX understands Europe in a cultural-anthropological way. This project wants to analyze whether there are any proverbs and sayings rather exclusive to Europe in our definition.
- Here is a list of our Proverbs.
- Here is a list of our Sayings.
