closes his paper summarizing several new theories on the creation of proverbs. Outi Lauhakangas' "Categorization of Proverbs" shows different ways of classifying the unilingual and multilingual proverb material. The author explains the history, background, aims and motives of these efforts, presents and compares two serious attempts to systemize the international proverb lore -G. L.
