民俗学视角下的口头传统

Oral Tradition in the Light of Folklore Studies

对民俗学而言 ,民众长期积累的知识 ,是理解口头表述的前提 ;口述者的记忆 ,现场的心态、听众的反应 ,都影响到口述本身。所以 ,民俗学讲究“深入访谈” ,讲究对研究对象内部知识的了解 ,从而描摹民俗事象背后的传统。

As for folklore studies, knowledge gathered from ordinary people is the precondition for understanding oral expression. Narrator's memory, attitude and audiences' response all affect oral tradition. Folklore studies require deep interviews to get inside knowledge of research objects, and then to be able to describe folklore phenomena.
