Thus, the study of Al-Bahah animals representation can be considered to fall within eco-linguistics. These stories are embedded in metaphorical proverbs echoing the speech community's conceptualization of life and the livings. Since at least the 1990s, Eco-linguistics comes to comprise researches into how discourse can denote the relation between human beings and the environment, at the same time, revealing and uncovering the stories that shape people's lives and society as a whole. Traditionally eco-linguistic studies mainly focus on language shift and endangerment but they can also explore patterns of language that influence how people both think about, and treat the world (Stibbe: 2015). The interdisciplinary nature of proverbial studies stresses the interaction of comprehensive branches of knowledge, contexts, and cultures.
