THE CONCEPT "BELIEF" ON THE PROVERBAL FIELD IN ENGLISH LINGUOCULTURE

Abstract

The concept of "belief" holds a central position in various cultural, linguistic, and social frameworks, particularly within the realm of proverbs, where it reflects shared values, norms, and collective wisdom. This study explores how belief is represented in English linguoculture through proverbs, aiming to analyze its cultural and linguistic significance. By focusing on the proverbal field, we highlight how belief is manifested in different social contexts and linguistic forms. The study aims to: (1) identify key proverbs that encapsulate the notion of belief; (2) perform a linguistic-cultural analysis to understand how these proverbs reflect broader societal norms; and (3) explore the interplay between belief and other cultural concepts within English linguoculture. The tasks include collecting proverbs related to belief, analyzing their meaning, and evaluating their cultural relevance. This research provides insights into how belief is conceptualized through traditional wisdom in English-speaking societies.
