Opis

The book presents a linguo-cultural picture of traditional values reflected in Anglo-American and Polish proverbs. The paremiological analysis carried out from a contrastive perspective provides additional evidence supporting the claim about the existence of distinct axiological differences specific only to a given linguo-culture.
