Proverbele românești, de la tradiție la digitalizare (I)

Abstract

The present paper analyzes how the mechanism of construction and operation of the traditional proverb, which calls for operations of structuring, metaphorization, transfer and extension of meaning in other communication situations, finds its applicability when subjected to modeling by AI. The comparison of the particularities of the traditional Romanian proverbs with those generated by AI, by analyzing the way of updating the structural features, highlighted the fact that the traditional paremiological thesaurus is characterized by well-defined particularities at the level of construction elements. The specificity of the class resulting from the combination of features relates to aspects such as brevity, the frequently solemn nature, daily life, traditions and customs, particularities partially respected in the process of generating new proverbs by training models of artificial intelligence.
