Proverbs are considered as expressions that reveal the life-world and values of the people of a given society as well as their attitudes towards their surroundings<br> The study adopts an ethnographic approach to proverbs, their provenance and use, based on intensive fieldwork in England and the Sudan. A large corpus of proverbs, many not recorded before, was gathered in settings of everyday usage over many years in rural and urban locations in Northern Sudan. In England extensive research through questionnaires and interviews elicited comparative information on proverbs used or known by the general English public. Meanings and usages of proverbs are examined to point out similarities or differences between Sudanese and English proverbs in relation to situations in which they are used.The study examines major issues in people’s daily lives as" Summary note from the Thesis</TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="18" valign="top"> <div align="left" class="txttitle">Subject</div></TD> <TD colspan="2" valign="top" class="txtbody">Sudanese-Arabic proverbs</TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="18" valign="top" class="txttitle">Subject</TD> <TD colspan="2" valign="top" class="txtbody">English proverbs</TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="18" valign="top"><div align="left" class="txttitle">Subject</div></TD> <TD colspan="3" valign="top" class="txtbody">Classical and modern Arabic proverbs</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="18" valign="top"><div align="left" class="txttitle">Corporated body</div></TD> <TD colspan="2" valign="top"><div align="left" class="txtbody">School of Humanities, Technical University of Berlin</div></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="18" valign="top"><div align="left" class="txttitle">Remote access</div></TD> <TD colspan="2" valign="top"><div align="left"><a href="ahmed_salwa.pdf">Full text</a></div></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="130"></TD> <TD></TD> <TD></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD height="476" colspan="4" valign="top"><P align=right> </P></TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> & <TBODY> <TR> <TD> </TD> </TR></TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML>
