Abstract

The present study can be seen as the second stage of a larger research concerning
the real proverb usage in contemporary written Bulgarian language. While the
first survey aimed to determine the most frequently used proverbs in newspaper
articles, the present study examines which Bulgarian proverbs occur on the Web
and with what frequency. The results of the two separate studies showed similarities
and helped to gain a better understanding of the current usage of proverbs in
the modern Bulgarian language.
