| Summary: | After reviewing the database of calendar and weather proverbs in Romance-speaking areas (BADARE) and listing items culled from several Romance atlases, I present three samples of regional variation in this kind of proverbs in Ibero-Romance referring to (1) the meaning of the rainbow and (2) of a red sky, and (3) images associated with a cumulus sky. The material of great interest contained in Romance atlases is complemented by other works related to languages and linguistic geography: proverb collections, dialect monographs and various other studies. Although the project of putting together a large Romance atlas of proverbs does not seem feasible even if conceived of as a second generation atlas, due to the fact that weather proverbs (or other types of proverbs) are a rare treat in the first generation atlases, it is suggested that the material in the BADARE database can be used to good advantage to facilitate the study of Romance proverb geography. |
