| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims to study the Arabic proverbs in light of one of the well-known theories of modern linguistics, i.e. Context theory. Context theory has been considered as one of the most well-known and oft-used theories; it has emerged recently in modern linguistics. As this theory can be applied to creative texts, I have chosen a number of proverbs to be the sample of my study. In general proverbs are characterized by conciseness and ellipsis, thus causing ambiguity and confusion, and consequently making the process of understanding the intended meanings of such proverbs difficult. Therefore, it is held in this study that it is difficult to understand a proverb without heavily relaying on the macro and micro context in which such a proverb is used. | ||
