From Conversation to Oral Tradition (eBook, ePUB)

A Simplest Systematics for Oral Traditions

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that many of the most prominent features of oral epic poetry in a number of traditions can best be understood as adaptations or stylizations of conversational language use, and advances the claim that if we can understand how conversation is structured, it will aid our understanding of oral traditions.
