Abstrak:
The article aims to investigate the semantics and pragmatics of the English proverbs and sayings from the point of view on linguo-cultural aspects. To reach the goal the researchers applied such methods of investigation as descriptive method of English proverbs. Being a valuable object of linguo-cultural investigations proverbs realize not just functions of the language but that of culture as well. Proverbs and sayings are an integral part of the national language picture of the world. As linguo-cultural texts proverbs and sayings explicit a definite layer of culture of a separate ethnic group, reflect spiritual and physical activity of culture representatives, the peculiarities of mentality and world perception of a definite linguo-cultural society.
