Paremiología toponímica de Galicia en los refraneros gallegos y castellanos

Resumen

1. Introduction Throughout this research the relation between two areas of knowledge will be established: toponymy and the study of proverbs. Both of them coincide as a way of oral transmission and as the conservation of history and customs of communities with characteristics that make them different form each other. The daily life, the history and the anecdotes of the people and places are reflected in their folk productions.

It will be tried that each saying is pinpointed and explained in terms of contents, since some of them are out of our limited current knowledge about elements beyond the language.

Taking these data into account, we will see what forms are in our corpus and the characteristics they have.
