Meetei society has been using proverbs in the all ages, stages of development, social changes, and cultural diversifications to mark their wisdom of social expertise. Meetei used proverbs as an important aspect of verbal discourses within the socio-cultural and ethno-civilization contexts in which skills, knowledge, ideas, emotion, and experiences are communicating. The language used in proverbs reflects the Meetei ’s status of life, food habits, belief systems, philosophy, cultural and social orientations. Atthe same time, various meanings attribute in Meetei proverbs in the forms of figurative, witty, pithy, didactic etc. The construction of these forms are grammatically insightful thereby creating spaces for a whole range of possibilities for investigating the features, functions and structure of verbal inflectional markers occurred in Meetei proverbial sentences.  \nKeywords: Proverbs, morphosemantics, features of lexical items, attributes of meanings and language  \n1. Introduction  \nA proverb is a terse didactic statement that is current in tradition or as an epigram says “the wisdom of many and the wit of one”. It ordinarily suggests a course of action or passes a judgment on a situation (Maria Leach, 1984) . This short sentence drawn from a long experience of the wisdom of life is an important aspect of verbal discourse, which various meanings are attributing in the society. Attribution of meaning reflects the people ’s status of life, belief systems, philosophy, cultural and social orientations. The languages of proverbs are commonly grammatically insightful, figurative, pithy, witty, well constructive, didactic and condensing wisdom of experience. Proverbs are generally well constructed strings of lexical items and affixes that exist in the language, and hence constituting higher grammatical units than phrases, clauses and sentences (Mensah, 2010) . Abrahams (1972:119) also says that proverbs always stated in the form of a single sentence. Generally, there are certain remarks in proverbs, simply because they are witty, sententious, and used to embody wisdom. Thus, the use of proverbs in a particular language remains a veritable tool for the transmission of traditional values, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, philosophy, education and information.  \nSpecifically in Linguistics, linguists investigate proverbs with the scope of hetero-situativity, poly-morphocity, polyfunctionality and poly-semanticity in simple form. It is of great significance that scholars pay their attention to the study in morphosyntactic, paradigmatic, syntagmatic, logical, structural and semantic aspects of these traditional utterances as communicative and strategic signs. Goodwin and Wenzel (1979) propose that structural analysis of texts will certainly gain value if semiotic aspects of proverbs as linguistic and cultural signs added to them with a special focus on actual proverb performance in speech acts. In this regards, David Cram (1983) and other linguists argue that the proverbs should be viewed as a lexical elemen","cbCainY4FV3eOZh7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainY4FV3eOZh7","pdf",250801,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Proverbs as didactic and quotational discourse\n## Linguistic relevance: morphosyntactic and semantic analysis\n## Research gap in Meetei proverb studies","[{\"question\":\"What does the study focus on regarding Meetei proverbs?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on the functions of morphosemantics in Meetei proverbs, especially how different meanings are attributed to lexical items in Meetei proverbial verbs.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are proverbs important in Meetei society, according to the abstract and introduction?\",\"answer\":\"Proverbs are used across all ages and stages of development to mark wisdom, social expertise, and to convey values, beliefs, emotions, philosophy, education, and information within socio-cultural contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of meanings and forms are discussed for Meetei proverbs?\",\"answer\":\"The text discusses meanings expressed through figurative, witty, and didactic forms, emphasizing that these forms are grammatically insightful for analyzing verbal inflectional markers.\"}]","Morphosemantic Attributes of Meetei Proverbs - Journal Article | PDF",28]
