Rezumat:Archetypes are a part of myths as universal symbols, usually in a corporeal, solid form that people can perceive. Most of them are elements of nature, such as the sun and the moon, water, earth, fire and air. The term cannot be given a one-dimensional definition. Derived from the Greek compound of arche and tupos, it refers to the creative source (arche – the ‘first principle’) and all of its different expressions (Tupos). In time, the notion of archetype broadened to signify stock characters, personality types, and other behavior patterns.
Seen as micro texts, literally speaking, proverbs pose several problems, in spite of some of the scientific studies that have been produced recently. Their conciseness, the fixed structure, the metaphorical aspects, their reinterpretation given the renewal of contextualization, all these aspects require a new approach to the presumptive genetic context, on the one hand, and observing them in their usage in different social situations on the other. Since proverbs and archetypes appear entwined as discoursal units, the aim of the paper is analyzing and identifying the archetypal patterns in proverbs.
Proverbs take an active part in the life of the community, having a moulding effect on society. These linguistic elements generate plenty of stylistic effects within the same semantic structures and facilitate the interpretation of proverbs so as to uncover the true meanings of that which pertains to symbolic images. Proverbs, as cultural symbols, constitute a summing up of a series of experiences through which the community expresses itself. The incidence of archetypes and symbols nominate these microtexts as carriers of ancestral wisdom, fully established in the collective mind-set of the Romanians.
