Résumé anglais The paper is based on the well-known opposition between two systems of enunciation — speech and narration (story/ speech in Benveniste, narration/ commentary in Weinrich). In order to determine which system proverbs belong to, conjugated verbal forms (much more various in BCMS proverbs than in other languages such as French or English) are examined. the corpus is the collection of proverbs by vuk Karadžić, first published in Cetinje (Montenegro) in 1836. the paper shows that some verbal forms function in proverbs in the same way as in speech enunciation (imperfective and perfective present in repetitions, perfective perfect with only one verb, future, optative, imperative, conditional), others as in narration enunciation (prospective perfective present, truncated perfect, perfective perfect and aorist in chronological successions of actions), while some others are used in a specific way, which can be found only in proverbs (the so-called gnomic aorist and imperfect). therefore the criterion “ how conjugated verbal forms function” allows to distinguish a specific enunciation system for proverbs in the BCMS language.
