This purely linguistic review of paremiology and paremiography, limited to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, aims at reexamining the major works regarded as milestones in the establishment of what is henceforth an independent discipline. This article shall limit the remarks to how the discipline has evolved in its terminology and taxonomy and also to the various contributions it has provided over fifty years, especially in semantics.
