The patriarchal leaning of most traditional African communities is sign-posted by certain behavioural models which place the woman at the receiving end of certain prejudices in our cultural milieu. Such prejudices manifest in diverse behavioural and relational manners that either peripheralize the woman or out-rightly remove every vestige of human dignity from her being. Language, being a significant carrier of our emotions, biases, beliefs, preference and prejudices, provides a crucial platform for the interrogation of the nature of gender relations and their consequences in any society, such consideration has forced a preponderance of scholarly interest in gender studies in arts and humanities. This study caries out a scholarly investigate into such gender inspired biases through the prison of Yoruba proverbs as a reflection of our cultural practices and beliefs about the position of the woman in a typical traditional Yoruba setting 展开更多

Although English proverbs and quotations are quite popular with language teachers and learners, and although there are sizeable body of research addressing the various aspects of English proverbs and quotations, their potential motivational values lacks theoretical support to date. This paper intends to explore the theoretical rationales for English proverbs and quotations to be a valuable tool for inspiring teachers and textbooks in Chinese EFL teaching. Based on QIN and WEN's conceptual model of motivation (2002) as well as teacher-specific and group-specific motivational theories, it analyzes the potential uses of English proverbs and quotations, with the conclusion that many English proverbs and quotations may serve to be an impetus as well as affective/cognitive mediators in the pre-actional and actional stages of learning, and may help to promote teacher-specific and group-specific motivational dynamics, which in turn benefit student achievement. 展开更多

The African cultural universe is quite replete with vivid imagery and condensed wisdom of the ways of man and nature gleaned over the years. Gerontocracy, governance by the elderly, an adopted mode of government by most African communities, mostly has its wisdom reflected in proverbs. Proverbs then become an administrative tool to resolve conflict among warring parties, communities or persons. In this paper, one of the objectives is to showcase instances of proverbs serving as tools for conflict resolution in D.O. Fagunwa's Yoruba novel entitled Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo IrunmQl~, which Abioye (1989) has translated as Le preux chasseur dans la for^t infest^e de demons (The Forest of a Thousand Demons). Another objective is to study the translational strategies employed by Abioye to successfully translate the rich cultural African worldview encapsulated in Yoruba proverbs into French, a non-African language. 展开更多

Proverbs are timeless human wisdom in the form of concise figurative speech.They reflect the conceptual experience of the speakers,particularly the elders in speech communities.This study aims at presenting a comparative study between Amharic and Afaan Oromoo proverbs from the standpoint of meta-communication perspective.Meta-communication is conceptualized as communicating about communication.Communication is believed to have many things in common with culture in that it shapes and dictates the communication behavior of a given society.In verbal communication,the use of proverbs is quite often,explicitly to comment on communication behavior.Despite the multifaceted functions of proverbs in several disciplines,the focuses of this study are proverbs as sources of communication that are relevant in linguistics and anthropology.In so doing,sample proverbs have been purposively selected based on semantic criteria and analyzed by using psycho-analysis method.In the analysis of the proverbs,we built a cognitive model for their semantic relationships.This is because the proverbs have relatively stable,conventionalized and contextual meaning of form as continuum,residing in their common conceptual base.Above of all,they are metaphor-dependent as a common on conceptual base.Hence,there are a number of proverbs in Amharic and Afaan Oromoo as well that comment on importance of communication,communication behavior or processes,among others.In both ethno-linguistic groups,thus,employing such proverbs to comment on communication is quite common which tend to show the communication behavior of each group. 展开更多

Proverbs which are short witty traditional oral expressions handed down from generation to generation as a common heritage is also believed to be true expressions of the Hausa people's philosophy. This philosophy is clad in different ways by the people as they are continuously at work to give meanings to their creative activities. Proverbs are one of the most relevant expressions of human wisdom and knowledge of nature, psychology, and reality for the Hausa people of Northern Nigeria; however, the images that are presented in the proverbs are culturally defined and they may differ from place to place, as well as from generation to generation. Proverbs are capable of a variety of meanings, according to how and when they are used. These findings have revealed that many popular and interesting Hausa proverbs tell a condensed story; these stories give vivid illustrations which help the hearer understand the proverbs. In this paper, the author attempts a deep intellectual analysis into the story-lines behind the emergence of some selected Hausa proverbs, with a view to comprehending and propagating embedded ideas and cultural principles or philosophies that may be relevant for contemporary social usage. 展开更多

Since language and gender research has gradually become a heated topic for linguists,according to Sapir-Whorf hypothesis,some linguists argue that language is sexually discriminatory against women.Language is the most crucial tool for human communication,which reflects idiology and culture of language users.Moreover,proverbs,as the essence of language,can better reflect the connotation of social culture.Therefore,it is more representative to study linguistic sexism in proverbs.Under the light of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in sociolinguistics,this paper uses comparative methods to present sexism in English and Chinese proverbs from six aspects,such as women’s social status,speech,wisdom,temper,vices,and marriage.Based on our analysis,we find that the emergence and prevalence of sexism in English and Chinese proverbs roots from social and historical aspects.Hopefully our research will make people recognize sexism in language and avoid discriminatory language practices. 展开更多

Proverbs are results of human wisdom.As a particular part of language,proverbs are full of embodiments of many differences culture both in form and content.The understanding and translation of English and Chinese proverbs involve not only the transference of the two languages but also the transmission of English and Chinese culture.When proverbs are being translated,translators are confronted with difficulties of retaining the characteristics as well as the meaning and national flavor of the original.Judging from this key point,how to achieve the transference of the source language culture to the target language has become one of the important criteria to know whether or not a translation version is successful.Therefore,to a great extent,the principles and methods play a key role. 展开更多

Sustainable water management is one of the global grand challenges of our time. Tackling this challenge through corrective actions would require the participation of the general public, a public with sound awareness of the challenge and commitment. One such awareness raising intervention could be through the use of water symbolism and proverbs, targeted to particular society. Water has the different symbolism and levels of importance to people, depending of their personal characteristics and socio-demographic factors (e.g. gender, age, occupation, residence). Similarly, water proverbs can also demonstrate attitudes towards water among communities, ethnic groups and whole nations. Such meanings and symbolism could help determine attitude and be a powerful tool towards education. In this context, we describe and propose a psychological Health Belief Model (HBM) as a way to explain behaviour and stimulate sustainable water management practice. 展开更多
