According to Black there are four major types of proverb variation in English which are mainly created by some syntactic distortion.

1. Substitution: Lexical substitution of one element while the syntactical pattern is unchanged. Example: Give him an inch and he will take a mile. → Give him an inch and he will run a mile.

2. Contraction: A clause is omitted - usually this is the second clause. Example: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. → When in Rome

3. Antonyms: A form of the proverb which has the opposite meaning to the original (e.g. by omission or insertion of a negative morpheme). (i.e.) All that glitters are not gold. → all that glitters are gold

4. Expansion: Another linguistic element is inserted into the proverb (e.g.) casting pearls before swine. →Casting synthetic pearls before real swine.

Phraseological unities are much more numerous. They are clearly motivated. The emotional quality is based upon the image created by the whole as in to stick (to stand) to one's guns, i.e. refuse to change one's statements or opinions in the face of opposition', implying courage and integrity. The example reveals another characteristic of the type, the possibility of synonymic substitution, which can be only very limited, e. g. to know the way the wind is blowing.
