The linguistic heterogeneity of Sicilian proverbs. Temporal and spatial analysis with a comparative study of Messina's Sicilian and Spanish paremiological minimum

The work is framed in the paremiographic studies and presents the modifications or changes that have suffered the paremiographic variants of the Sicilian city of Messina, collected in a corpus from a fieldwork carried out during the years 2018 and 2019 in the same port city, with respect to their source paremias, in addition to their possible causes. The use of sources, lexicographic works that have a long tradition in Sicily (Pasqualino, 1785-1795; Rapisarda, 1842; Traìna, 1868; Pitrè, 1880), allows us to confirm the vitality of the paremias of the corpus and check the modifications with respect to the most classical form.
