| Description | Foreign, non-Slavic proverbs have been used in Czech periodicals either as a compositor-ballast, or in thematic blocks, often along with other kinds of aphorisms. Proverbs have been however used also in political commentaries as a tool of argumentation. In terms of glossae on foreign policy, proverbs of the given foreign origin have been used as a reminder of the own native moral. |
