This literature review examines recent developments in the study of English lexicography with a specific focus on paremiological units. Over the past decade, research has provided critical insights into both theoretical and applied approaches regarding the documentation, analysis, and interpretation of proverbial expressions in the English language. This review synthesizes key findings from empirical studies, evaluates methodological advances that employ both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and outlines gaps in current literature that warrant further investigation. In doing so, this paper supports the ongoing discourse in academic linguistics, particularly for scholars involved in lexicography, paremiology, and related disciplines.
