How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Each nationality has a rich foundation of folklore that can express its traditional culture, language, and mentality, and the proverb is seen as a vital component of such a foundation. In this article, we will consider proverbs as signs of the culture and mentality of all nations from the point of view of linguoculturology. As we expect, studies on proverbs within the context of linguoculturology will reveal the triple feedback of human-oriented culture-mentality-language. The traditional lifestyle is always reflected in the proverbs of each nationality. Therefore, the proverb is both language material and a cultural sign. The cultural signs can differ due to the lifestyle, farming, territory, and climate of countries where the mentality differs. Different mentalities create different languages, which can be expressed through this mentality. According to this feedback, the proverb is considered a linguocultural topic to be studied that can show the cultural difference between countries and nationalities; thus, it is essential to carry out studies on proverbs based on linguocultural aspects. Moreover, the proverb is not only a language phenomenon but also a combination of packaged knowledge of culture, and it has more cultural concepts than other language units, so it is worth studying from the point of view of linguoculturology.
