نبذة نيل وفرات:The material which forms the basis of this dissertation was collected and recorded over an extended period lasting in all for ten years (1958-1968). This work resulted in a collection of approximately 1,100 proverbs, to which it was subsequently possible to add a further hundred items.
The intention in recording ...these proverbs was to try to save an important aspect of the folk Wisdom of Najd (central Arabia) from oblivion; it was only later that it became clear to the writer that this fairly extensive material might form the basis of a piece of literary research.
These proverbs have been taken from informants at all levels of Najdi society;with perhaps some bias towards the farming community which is more tenacious of traditional forms of speech. Many of the proverbs, however, stem from the more characteristically urban environment of informants who were carpenters, blacksmiths, shoemakers, butchers and other craftsmen, as well as shopkeepers, officials and others. In addition, it has been possible to record some proverbs stemming from the purely nomadic environment which are not to be found among farmers or townsmen. إقرأ المزيد
