Abstract

This article examines the semantic and pragmatic dimensions of proverbs and sayings as fundamental units of the phraseological system of language. Using the method of literature analysis and personal analytical interpretation, the study explores how proverbs and sayings function both as carriers of fixed meaning and as dynamic communicative tools in discourse. The analysis reveals that the boundary between proverbs and sayings is often fluid, and their pragmatic force depends significantly on contextual, cultural, and situational factors.
