Abstract
Proverbs are concise expressions that encapsulate wisdom and cultural knowledge, serving as a rich source of linguistic and cultural insights. This article delves into the intricate relationship between lexical and phraseological units within proverbs. By examining how individual words and fixed expressions interact and contribute to the meaning and structure of proverbs, we can gain a deeper understanding of language usage, cultural norms, and cognitive processes. Through a comprehensive analysis of examples from various languages and cultures, this article aims to shed light on the dynamic and complex nature of proverbs as linguistic artifacts that bridge the gap between words and phrases.
