INTRODUCTION
In the present study we want to illustrate certain morphological and semantic aspects typical of the proverbs. These aspects are present in the linguistic structure of this species. We shall pay special attention to that part of speech which is best represented in the proverb enunciations - the noun which names objects and abstract ideas. We shall insist upon the concrete nouns from the semantic field of the flora and fauna. In the first part of this study we have had in view the way these terms are distributed inside the proverbs. In the second part of this article we have identified some processes expressive, created by the relations of association as well as by the contrast ratios which come up between the terms which name the flora and fauna. In our approach, we have grounded our examples on a substantial corpus of proverbs which are representative for our analysis. The examples have been extracted from electronic versions and collections and Fauna is all of the animals of any particular region or time period, considered as as group. The term is contrasted with flora, which refers to all of the plant life in a particular region or during a stated period of time. Fauna is also the word for a book cataloging the animals of a particular region or time period. The term was first used by Linnaeus in the title of his 1747 work Fauna Suecica.
Zoologists and paleontologists may use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, such as the "Sonoran Desert fauna" or the "Burgess shale fauna." Various subgroups also are identified on the basis of size (such as megafauna or microfauna), taxonomic group (such as avifauna), location (such as epifauna), and so forth. Through such categorizations into subgroups, zoologists and paleontologists can look for larger patterns in nature, such as those
related to extinction or reproductive strategies.
Paleontologists sometimes refer to a sequence of faunal stages, which is a unit of time based on changes in the observed fossil assemblages, with a particular stage having rocks with similar fossils.
