The proverbs have a cultural value and they show the way of thinking of a society. To give a description about this system of values related to the social conditions in which a language is actualized, we apply the semantics of the points of view and the semiotics. Our basic hypothesis is founded on the study of the points of view lexicalized in the proverbs that corresponded to the “figurative dimension” of the discourse defined by the semioticians. In fact, the objective of this research is to bring out that the proverbs impose to us a “manner of see” by their figuratively. This “manner” is lexicalized in the words and we can describe by “topique fields” defined by Pierre-Yves Raccah.
