Аннотация:In our research we have chosen the term paremia (from the Greek – παροιμία – a stable phraseological unit with didactic meaning) to call all kinds of proverbs regardless of their internal structure. The classification of the paremias is based on the criterion of verifiability of statement proposed by British philosopher of language John Austin who divided the statements into constatives and performatives (interrogative, exclamatory and imperative statements) according to their ability/inability to be defined as true or false. The same approach existed in the medieval Arabic linguistics – Arabic rhetoric (‘ilm al-balāġa) has shown the difference between – informing (ḫabariyya) and – creating (’inšā’iyya) statements. Referring to his predecessors, As-Suyūṭī says that creation (’inšā’) is a statement in which the content by the means of the pronounced utterance finds its realization in the external situation [As-Suyūṭī 1978: 98]. He also defines creating statements as unverifiable. The paremias-dialogues consist of more than one phrase and contain statements of various communicative types. They are used for a specific communicative purpose: inference, generalization, opposition, demonstration of an example to follow, explanation of an action, etc. The peculiarity of paremia-dialogue is that it recreates the conversation and presents a short performance.
