What can oral poetic traditions teach us about language and the
human mind? Oral Poetics has produced insights relevant not only
for the study of traditional poetry, but also for our general
understanding of language and cognition: formulaic style as a
product of rehearsed improvisation, the thematic structuring of
traditional narratives, or the poetic use of features from everyday
speech, among many others. The cognitive sciences have developed
frameworks that are crucial for research on oral poetics, such as
construction grammar or conversation analysis. The key for
connecting the two disciplines is their common focus on usage and
performance. This collection of papers explores how some of the
latest research on language and cognition can contribute to
advances in oral studies. At the same time, it shows how research
on verbal art in its natural, oral medium can lead to new insights
in semantics, pragmatics, or multimodal communication. The ultimate
goal is to pave the way towards a Cognitive Oral Poetics, a new
interdisciplinary field for the study or oral poetry as a window to
the mind.
