THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF MONEY IN ENGLISH PAREMIOLOGY
Abstract
This article explores the representation of the concept of money in English paremiology, focusing on the cultural and cognitive aspects reflected in English proverbs. It highlights key themes such as the dual nature of money as both a source of power and a burden, the importance of financial responsibility and frugality, the transient nature of wealth, and the moral and ethical implications of the pursuit of money. The article also discusses the relationship between money and happiness, as well as how proverbs reveal societal attitudes toward wealth, greed, and human character
