Почему мы (не) верим в приметы

Our contemporaries usually say that they do not believe in superstitions but sometimes take into account some of them. Half-belief in superstitions is due to the special status of these statements. Superstitions declare the correlation between two events, the relationship between which is not evident to the speaker. The unobviousness of the statements is compensated by the fact that they express traditional, generally accepted ideas. In certain social and psychological conditions the role of superstitions increases and the semiotic properties of superstitions make them applicable to almost all situations.
