In this article the “sentencias breves” (‘short maxims’) are studied, the term paremia being used to refer to the two most frequent subtypes that occur in the Tesoro, i. e., saws and proverbs. Here we select, on the one hand, adagios, aforismos, axiomas, proverbios and refranes, which are provided by the author with paremiological marks, and, on the other hand, word groups or combinations, being marked within the lexicographic article as frasis, dichos comunes or modos de hablar. Other units not provided with those marks are also included, since it is evident that they are of a similar nature as those previously cited. Prefixed, suffixed and parasynthetic units are analysed.
