Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze a number of Spanish proverbs related to names of professions that are no longer used at present. In order to gather the meaning of such proverbs and the context in which they can be used, it is necessary to know the past jobs and the nature of activity by the people performing that job within rural society. The destiny of these proverbs looks gloomy as they are becoming extinct as a result of the modernization of society and the substitution of new trades for the past ones. Another reason might be the decreasing of the competence in proverbs of young generations. However, this kind of proverbs can represent an important source for the study of linguistic, anthropological folk and social mentality within a historical period.
