Abstract

This study provides a structural analysis of English and Russian proverbs related to weather and natural phenomena. It explores syntactic, lexical, and semantic patterns in both languages and examines their cultural and cognitive significance. The study identifies key metaphorical frameworks, compares the structural composition of proverbs, and highlights linguistic similarities and differences. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of proverbial discourse in comparative linguistics.
