The monograph outlines current issues and tasks of developing a linguistic theory of aphorism, identifies the main directions and contradictions of its linguistic study, and proposes a concept for describing an aphorism as a type of phraseological unit. Based on the material of the Belarusian, Russian, Polish and English languages, the publication determines the linguistic features of aphoristic units, the similarity and differences of folklore and literary aphorisms, the correlation of aphoristic small text forms and phraseological units, the main classes and types of aphorisms, the features of speech and language aphoristic units, the properties and varieties of language aphorisms, the composition and structure of the aphoristic fund of the language. It also reveals and describes the semantics of aphoristic units, their grammatical forms and compatibility, structure in speech, methods of formation, and main language functions.

For linguists, postgraduate students and students of linguistic majors, as well as a wide range of philologists who are interested in the issues of linguistic study of aphorisms.
