A elaboración dun corpus paremiolóxico por francófonos nativos

Abstract

This study intends to verify the presence of the proverbial genre in current French by means of a fieldwork carried out in 2007-2008 with a group of students of Contrastive Grammar (French-Spanish), from the Degree in French Philology. The methodology has been evolving due to the increase of francophone students from the Erasmus program. The objectives of the proposed activity are several: a) waking the interest os students for a complex linguistic phenomenon, b)learning to locate linguistic phenomena directly from oral sources, c) confirming the degree of evidence of the proverbial genre in the linguistic competence. The paremiological material compiled constitutes, for its number and its diverse paremiological categories, a representative sample of the paremiological competence in current French, as a result of the age and the geographical origin of the informants.
