Abstract
This research follows the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory to analyse framing in some proverbs as well as theirsemantic relation to other proverbs. Authors study proverbs that are synonyms, antonyms as well as polysemous ones. Their aim is to provide a cognitive model for the semantic relationships of this type of construction.
