This volume is a work of fundamental importance in the field of
orality-literacy studies. It provides a thorough and detailed
theoretical account of the compositional style of oral showing that
the antithetical, balancing, formulaic quality of that style is
deeply rooted in the psychological nature.
In this book, first published in 1990, Edgard Sienaert and Richard
Whitaker offer the first English translation of Marcel Jousse's
crucially important work, Le style oral. As the translators
observe, this study fired the imagination of contemporary
intellectuals in Paris soon after its publication and influenced
the work of many. In this book, Jousse provides a thorough and
detailed theoretical account of the compositional style of oral, as
opposed to literate, authors, showing that the antithetical,
balancing, formulaic quality of that style is deeply rooted in the
psychological and even physiological nature of mankind.
