Abstract

Abstract: Language as a social product reflects the culture and society in which it lives. Culture seen as socially acquired knowledge, and society defined as a group of people who have common or similar goals and interests. The language is, at the same time, the history of a people. It is intended, with this work, to observe the use of paremias (proverbs) and idioms registered in Popular Literature Cearense through the poetry of one of the greatest Brazilian popular poets, Patativa do Assaré, and in the novel Dona Guidinha do Poço, authored by great writer, Manuel de Oliveira Paiva. It is justified by the need to preserve and enhance the linguistic and cultural traits of Ceará, which, although relegated to a secondary level, portray the history and culture of this people. Phraseology is used as an academic approach to language together with Ethnolinguistics as it is a study of the lexicon in relation to culture.

 

Key-words: Phraseology; Paremiology; Ethnolinguistics; Popular Literature from Ceará.
