This is a study of vocal expressions in the borderland between
speech and song, based on performances from cultural contexts where
oral transmission dominates. Approaches drawn from perspectives
belonging to both ethnomusicology and linguistics are integrated in
the analysis. As the idea of the performance template is employed
as an analytical tool, the focus is on those techniques that make
performance possible. The result is an increased understanding of
what performers actually do when they employ variation or
improvisation, and sometimes composition as well. The transmission
of these culture-specific techniques is essential for the
continuation of this form of human communication and interaction
with the spirit world. By comparative study of other research, the
result of the analysis is viewed in relation to ongoing processes
in society. -- .
