Summary/Abstract: Proverbs and tongue twisters as a specific literary art forms are a source of diverse linguistic and stylistic features. Tongue twisters, on the one hand, are the forms which are essentially used for learning and practicing the pronunciation of individual characters. They are therefore particularly interesting to phonostylistic and formation plan. On the other hand, proverbs as short folk wisdoms, achieve their semantic stylistic value through a precise combination of linguistic resources at all levels. This paper will point out some significant linguistic-stylistic features of proverbs and tongue twisters that contribute to their form and usable function at all.
