Abstract:
Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon our holy prophet Muhammad and his purified progeny.Proverbs acquire their importance from life in their being a legacy for the most touching needs of human nature in most of its ways. As such , the proverb is an ever - lasting monitoring authority in support of idealistic conduct.Believing in the active role of the proverb in improving the framework of life, I have opted for going deeper into the insights of proverbs.The multitude and sequence of studies on Arab proverbs cannot be considered a matter of repetition because each study has its distinctive characteristic from other studies. There are many examples in this regard.Hardly any work is devoid of difficulties facing it; as such one of the difficulties that faced me was how to make the structure as concise as possible which imposed on the researcher much effort concerning the analysis of the proverb in light of the study tools. Furthermore , most proverbs are in the form of "'af'al" which did not go beyond the hyperbole scope in all of them. This has made the researcher concentrate on the lexical meaning of the animal and the situation upon which the proverb is based. As regards the structure of the research , it has been divided into a preface and three chapters and a conclusion.Chapter one has dealt with the lexical function and what has resulted out of it as regards meanings which had an active contribution towards enriching the proverb structure . The chapter has been divided, therefore, into three sections the first of which included the( lexicon of pets) while the second included the( lexicon of birds) and the third section was (lexicon of the animals miscellany) in which is collected all that scattered and could not be compiled within an independent section. Therefore, it has been divided into two sub - sections : the first deals with insects and vermin while the second deals with predators. Chapter two which is entitled( contextual function ) has dealt with the impact of context in firmly fixing the meaning of the proverb and has been divided into two sections . The first section is entitled the ( the influential function) which has dealt with the scope of emotional and behavioral influence as a first step to adjust or change emotions and behaviors in case they are obscene or laying emphasis on what is commendable . Second section has dealt with (reference function) which is concerned with interpretive cases that adopted the first proverb situation as springboard to clarify what comes next . As such the historical aspect has been endorsed as reliable.Chapter three deals with ( textual function) which has also included two sections. Section one deals with (stimulation function) which is used for observing the linguistic styles such as forwarding and postponement , elision and mentioning and relativization and separation ,etc.) which have formed an alarming motive to secure the continuity between the parties of the discourse. The second section entitled the ( aesthetic function) deals with observing the rhetorical elements such as metonymy ,metaphor and simile which have sometimes taken out of personification and materialization an expressive form and out of suggestion and symbol more expressive forms on some other occasions .The research has arrived at some conclusions one of which is that all means of creation have been made available as a result of possessing an abundant language rich in its suggestions which has greatly echoed its indicative objectives in addition to containing some scientific indications that revealed the level of the thinking of the Arabs by then despite the primitive means they had at their disposals.The statistical aspect of the animal utterances has lead us to discover the rationale for the disparity in employing some utterances to the exclusion of others . Thus the pets have been at the forefront at the expense of other kinds in relation to the proverbial indications referring to it . This shows further that the Arabs did not leave a characteristic of relevance until they touched upon it whether explicitly or implicitly. At the end I should express my gratitude and appreciation to my honorable supervisor who guided me to the path of this research.I wish also to acknowledge that all shortcomings and pitfalls are all smy sole responsibility.The closure of our prayers is that all praise and thanks belong to Allah , the Lord of the worlds.
