Proverbs are particular types of discourse that function similar to phrases and despite of polylexicality, they possess certain rigidity where the concept, semantically, is stable and has been restructured. However, the most remarkable and considerable aspect is that how proverbs produce the time of experience once addressee listen or read them? And how proverbs create different temporal conditions? Since the process of statement is dynamic and dynamism inevitably has a temporal dimension, how addressee of proverbs, in this interaction, arrives at a new situation? To respond to the above research questions, the current paper has used the semiotic-semantic approach that was propounded by semioticians of the Paris School as "Temporality in Discourses". Relying on this approach as well as using philosophical phenomenology, the temporal system in proverbs would be analyzed.   The research intends to show as how addressee of proverbs could transform from the existing stage of suspension to the stage of connection that is an agent of the experience and similarly reaches to the consciousness level so that he could understand the moment. Finally, how the grammatical time where speeches are in "present form" intervenes this process.
