	abstract = {Proverbs, riddles, and jokes constitute an ample and varied part of Hungarian verbal folklore. All three genres were originally coined by an individual and then gradually spread among the speech community to become “anonymous” texts, both oral and written. These short and concise texts contain bits of folk wisdom and may be meant to be humorous and entertaining (jokes, riddles, and anti-proverbs) or not (proverbs). This chapter is organized into three sections. While the first section addresses Hungarian proverbs and anti-proverbs, the second one treats riddles, and the third discusses jokes. Each section provides a short overview of the collection and study of the respective genre. The nature and origin of each genre, its specific features and subgenres, its pragmatic functions and usage, as well as its contemporary forms are also briefly explored.},

	abstract = {Anyone wishing to compile a list of Hungarian proverbs will immediately be confronted with the
		difficulty of the task. Proverbs of biblical origin such as An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth;
		Stretch as far as your legs will take you; He who seeks, (he) shall find; No one can be a prophet in
		his own country and many other proverbs from the Bible are very popular in Hungary, but are not of
		Hungarian origin. The biblical proverbs have become established in countless other languages and
		are one of the most widespread groups of proverbs today.
		In this paper, I first discussed the development of biblical proverbs into proverbs, with a special
		focus on the most popular biblical proverbs from my empirical research in the 1990s. I then presented
		the transgression of proverbs of biblical origin (i.e. antiproverbs). Certain biblical proverbs are particularly prone to being misrepresented. First, I described the most commonly distorted biblical
		proverbs and analysed antiproverbs that have several variants or are found in several sources.
		In the second part of my study, I presented the use of the biblical proverb An eye for an eye, a
		tooth for a tooth in the works of Hungarian writers and publicists. Why did I select this proverb? The
		most important reason for choosing the proverb is that in the database of more than 10,000 examples
		of its occurrence collected over more than two decades, this proverb has become the absolute gold
		medallist, i.e. it has the most examples of its use. The proverb An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
		like many other proverbs of biblical origin, can be found in both the Old and the New Testament. The
		occurrence of this popular biblical proverb in the various books of the Bible, as well as its meaning
		and structure, have been discussed separately.
		What exactly is going on in the minds of Hungarian authors (both classical writers and publicists)
		when they use this biblical proverb? The ways in which this proverb is embedded in a text can be
		extremely varied. I have presented the varied uses of the proverb in Hungarian fiction and newspapers,
		touching on the cases where the proverb has been transformed into an anti-proverb. I have examined
		several proverb parodies in detail.},

	abstract = {For centuries, proverbs have provided a framework for endless transformation.
		In recent decades, the modification of proverbs has taken such proportions that sometimes
		we can even meet more proverb transformations than traditional proverbs. Wolfgang
		Mieder has invented a term anti-proverb (or in German Antisprichwort) for such deliberate
		proverb innovations. Although proverb transformations arise in a variety of forms, several
		types stand out (which are by no means mutually exclusive), e.g., adding new words to
		the original text; replacing a single word; substituting two or more words; changing the
		second part of the proverb; melding two proverbs; punning; adding literal interpretations.
		The focus of this study is on the analysis of main mechanisms of proverb variation in 43
		transformations of 6 Anglo-American proverbs about children. The anti-proverbs discussed
		in the present study were taken primarily from written sources.},
