摘要:本文是英语毕业论文,This study emphasizes on language use from a differentperspective—corpus-based analyses. Through detailed searching and analyzing forEnglish proverbs and proverb variations, it will give insight into English learning andteaching.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Previous Studies on English Proverbs
Generally speaking, each nation has its own language, and each langrage alsoincludes a number of proverbs. Proverbs are collective work, easy to understand. Whatpeople have learned from life and some other accumulated experience have been passedon from generation to generation orally. After continuous evolution, proverbs haveformed with refined language but profound meaning.Proverbs are the essence of the language. McMordie claims that proverbs are ofgreat value even in the modern society (1954). However, English proverb variationsformed during the development of the language.In this chapter, theories about English proverbs and language variety at home andabroad will be introduced. A lot of research about proverbs has been done from different perspectives, likefrom cultural point of view, from lexical point of view, from syntactic point of view andso on.In 1965, F. L. Lucas published “The Art of Proverbs”, in which he distinguishedproverbs from aphorisms. Lucas stated that it seemed that proverbs today may have losttheir popularity, but actually proverbs are still useful, because proverbs are an evaluationof the minds. And another foreign expert, Katz and Fodor distinguished betweennational and international proverbs and held the opinion that everyone should beattempting to discover national characteristics in a nation’s proverbs (1963).

2.2 Previous Studies on English Proverb Variations
The variations of proverbs also have attracted the attention of linguists for a longtime. They make their efforts to study English variations from different aspects.Norrick and Neal discussed proverbs and variations in his book, How proverbsmean: Semantic studies in English proverbs (1985). He states that proverbs have fixedforms so they can be recognized to members in some linguistic community. Thespeakers use proverbs on the condition that the hearers are familiar to the proverbs. Eventhough the speakers do not to tell the original proverb forms, hearers can still recognizethem in lexical or grammatical variations. Seiler emphasized that in some cases proverbvariability leads to the existence of variants for proverbs with fixed forms, like Where /When/ As one door shuts/ is shut, another opens/ is opened; All that glitters is not gold/All is not gold that glitters; No/ Never pleasure without pain/repentance and manyothers you can find in the Oxford Dictionary of English Proverbs.Norrick explained several sources of proverb variations for fixed proverbs, aslisted below (1985):First, potentially fixed proverbs may exist in multiple variants. So it is impossibleto say whether speakers utter a stored variant of a given proverb.
