Although quite a few publica-tions on Sotho proverbs have appeared,the linguistic aspects ofproverbs have not been analyzed or described in depth,The purposeof this study is to investigate such characteristics or deviantgrammatical phenomena in Northern Sotho proverbs and to compare themwith similar phenomena found in Northern Sothopoetry to determinewhether proverbs can be regarded as a form of verse.  \nSince the concept of 'proverb'has nowhere been defined satisfacto-rily for Northern Sotho,this matter is discussed in chapter 2.  Adistinctionis made between idiomatic(figurative)and non-idiomatic(literal)use of language.It is concluded that proverbs aresyntactically immutable forms of idiomatic usage of language(exceptfor variations in wording and abbreviations)with the semanticimplication of expressing a moral lesson or distilled wisdom.  \nThe study of characteristic linguistic techniques in chapter 3 formsan important part of this research.These techniques do not normallyoccur in colloquial language and include,inter alia,the use of theconditional mod.the omission of class prefixes.the oission ofdemonstratives from adjective constructions and the omission ofcopulative words.Archaic words are often used and the &oncord re isfrequently used instead of the subjectival concords of subjectnouns.Presumably,we are dealing here with a conventional ellipsisin proverbs with the semantic implication of we","cbCaigpV76ZiOfvW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigpV76ZiOfvW","pdf",3638324,125,"English","# How to cite this thesis\n# Synopsis\n## Definition of proverb and language use\n## Linguistic techniques in Northern Sotho proverbs\n## Verse techniques and syntactical parallelism\n## Linguistic organization of proverbs","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the thesis regarding Northern Sotho proverbs?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate linguistic characteristics and deviant grammatical phenomena in Northern Sotho proverbs and to compare them with Northern Sotho poetry to assess whether proverbs can be regarded as a form of verse.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the thesis characterize Northern Sotho proverbs grammatically?\",\"answer\":\"It concludes that proverbs are syntactically immutable forms of idiomatic usage, with semantic implications such as expressing a moral lesson or distilled wisdom.\"},{\"question\":\"Which verse and linguistic techniques are emphasized in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Lexical repetition and frequent syntactical parallelism are highlighted as typical verse techniques.
