Creaţia populară - sursă a imagologiei unei comunităţi (Studiu în baza proverbelor ce conţin somatizmul NAS)

Abstract

In a paradigm of somatic symbolism valorized by the Romanian proverbs, the somatism „nose” receives semantic nuances foreign of its meaning in the dictionary. It describes, names and appreciates aspects of relationships person - person in terms of cohabitation. Thus the nose symbolizes and marks its holder status, behaviour, pride, shame, etc. The same somatism names metonymically a specific holder of the nose and a very personal part of him.
