Genre Classification, Functions and Apprehensive Mechanisms in Paremics

Summary/Abstract: Paremics, subject to differentiation in the article, is formulated as an opposite or non-opposite sentence, which has a direct relation to behaviour. On this base the author separates three generic groups: proverbs, sayings and maxims, depending on their functional obligations, grounded explicitly in the contents as analogous to certain categories from the theory of behaviour. So the proverb has the meaning of image as viewed in the theory of O. Miller and is a judgement, reflecting regularities in nature and society; the maxim bears the meaning of a plan as viewed in the same theory and imposes in an imperative form a certain mode of behaviour; the saying has a commenting and correcting function. The genres, classified in this way, have a fixed place in the temporal model with regard to the actual phenomenon. In this way in the proverb the action is registrated in the past and the present, in the maxim it is forthcoming, and in the saying it is in the field of semantic abstraction. The use of paremical example in a function, not intrinsic to its content, is prepared by a change of the delineated temporal model and is limited by its contents’ peculiarities. The author considers the functions of the separate genres, realized on the level of the concrete application, as well as the peculiarities of their apprehensive mechanisms. At the end of the article, as a survey are traced the already pointed out regularities, concerning the structure, functions and perception, and on this base a conclusion is made about the conformity of the used approach of separation.
