This book is the first comparative study of English, German,
French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs based on well-known
proverbs. Proverbs are by no means fossilized texts but are
adaptable to different times and changed values. While
anti-proverbs can be considered as variants of older proverbs, they
can also become new proverbs reflecting a more modern worldview.
Anti-proverbs are therefore a lingo-cultural phenomenon that
deserves the attention of cultural and literary historians,
folklorists, linguists, and general readers interested in language
and wordplay.
