| has gloss | nld: Een gezegde is net als een spreekwoord een vaste uitdrukking. In tegenstelling tot een spreekwoord is een gezegde een deel van een zin en wordt deze in een lopende en veranderbare zin verwerkt. Gezegden behoren tot de volkstaal. Om die reden zijn veel Nederlandse gezegden ontleend aan de scheepvaart. Volkstaal is dynamisch, om die reden kunnen oude gezegden gemakkelijk verdwijnen en nieuwe ontstaan. |
