Paremiological and paremiographic contributions of Spanish research groups

This work is part of the Research Project “Greco-Latin paremias and their continuity in European languages” (FFI2015-63738-P, Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness). This study is part of the publications of the Research Group UCM 930235 Fraseología y Paremiología (PAREFRAS, included in the CEI Moncloa, Cultural Heritage Cluster). ; The work of pioneers in paremiological and paremiographic research, such as the Finnish Matti Kuusi, the Russian Grigori Permiakov, the Americans Wolfgang Mieder and Shirley Arora, the Estonian Arvo Kirkmann and the French Louis Combet, is very commendable. This work is complemented by the contributions made by paremiological and paremiographic research groups, such as the Spanish groups, due to the great relevance and novelty of their scientific production (open access online databases, such as ParemioRom and Refranero multilingüe), as well as the variety and originality of their activities (a doctoral programme, videos on an educational channel, a great variety of conferences and seminars, summer courses, radio interventions). This article describes and analyses the role that Spanish research groups have played and are still playing in favour of the consolidation of paremiology and paremiography, in particular FRASEONET (University of Santiago de Compostela), FRASEMIA (University of Murcia) and PAREFRAS (University Complutense of Madrid). ; ABSTRACT: The work of pioneers in paremiological and paremiographic research, such as the Finnish Matti Kuusi, the Russian Grigori Permiakov, the Americans Wolfgang Mieder and Shirley Arora, the Estonian Arvo Kirkmann and the French Louis Combet, is very commendable.
