Paremiological and paremiographic contributions of Spanish research groups

Abstract

The work of pioneers in paremiological and paremiographic research, such as the Finnish Matti Kuusi, the Russian Grigori Permiakov, the Americans Wolfgang Mieder and Shirley Arora, the Estonian Arvo Kirkmann and the French Louis Combet, is very commendable. This work is complemented by the contributions made by paremiological and paremiographic research groups, such as the Spanish groups, due to the great relevance and novelty of their scientific production (open access online databases, such as ParemioRom and Refranero multilingüe), as well as the variety and originality of their activities (a doctoral programme, videos on an educational channel, a great variety of conferences and seminars, summer courses, radio interventions). This article describes and analyses the role that Spanish research groups have played and are still playing in favour of the consolidation of paremiology and paremiography, in particular FRASEONET (University of Santiago de Compostela), FRASEMIA (University of Murcia) and PAREFRAS (University Complutense of Madrid).ABSTRACT: The work of pioneers in paremiological and paremiographic research, such as the Finnish Matti Kuusi, the Russian Grigori Permiakov, the Americans Wolfgang Mieder and Shirley Arora, the Estonian Arvo Kirkmann and the French Louis Combet, is very commendable.

Cette tâche est complétée par les contributions des groupes de recherche parémiologique et parémiographique, en particulier les groupes espagnols grâce à la grande pertinence et à la nouveauté de leur production scientifique (bases de données consultables en ligne et accessibles gratuitement, comme ParemioRom et le Refranero Multilingüe), ainsi que pour la variété et originalité de leurs activités (un programme de doctorat, des vidéos dans un canal éducatif, des journées et des séminaires, des stages d’été et des interventions à la radio). Cet article décrit et analyse le rôle que les groupes de recherche espagnols ont joué et continuent à jouer en faveur de la consolidation de la parémiologie et de la parémiographie, particulièrement FRASEONET (Université de Santiago de Compostela), FRASEMIA (Université de Murcia) et PAREFRAS (Université Complutense de Madrid).
