This book is the first comparative study of English, German, French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs based on well-known proverbs. While anti-proverbs can be considered as variants of older proverbs, they can also become new proverbs reflecting a more modern worldview.

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.
