| Summary: | The recent study is to be seen as a continuation of the author's previous research (conducted alone or with co-authors) which is concerned with the study of various techniques of proverb transformation. The study first addresses the background of anti-proverb research and terminology. It then looks at the most frequent themes covered in anti-proverbs, with a particular focus on proverbs about money. The main focus of this study is on the analysis of substitution, one of the most popular mechanisms of proverb variation in Anglo-American anti-proverbs about money. The Anglo-American anti-proverbs covered in the study were taken primarily from American and British written sources. The study lists many examples of these anti-proverbs and reveals a wide range of techniques employed in them. The study seeks answers to the following questions: What are the most frequent types of substitution; What components of the original proverb are replaced when an anti-proverb is created; How many items are replaced from these; Where are the replaced items; What themes appear in our anti-proverbs?
