- Abstract
Sumerian proverbs, which were created by the intellectuals of ancient Mesopotamia, contain a wealth of wisdom from early human civilization. From a linguistic perspective, some of these proverbs embody the rules established by the elite classes and imposed on society, reflecting their hold on social power. In this study, a meta-functional analysis on the systemic functional linguistics of these proverbs is used to explain them better.
