dc.description.abstractThis thesis employs a literary critical approach along with insights from ethnography and linguistics to examine Tangkhul proverbs as both cultural expressions and literary objects, aiming to uncover their significance in reflecting the community’s worldview. The study focuses on stylistic devices such as symbols, metaphors, similes, and various figures of speech, exploring their contributions to rhetorical effects, aesthetic values, and meaning formation. Rather than deriving principles from a limited set, the research provides glimpses into Tangkhul philosophy as articulated through their proverbs, emphasising their role as cultural texts embodying the community’s beliefs and values. To illustrate their meanings and conversational usage, the study includes examples of actual or hypothetical situations.
