Abstract

The hypothesis is that we can deal with the classification of the oral
literary genres, especially oral lyrical poems, on different levels,
bearing in mind the fact that the principles for classification are pure
conventions although not arbitrary. Thus the problem requires the
elaboration from the literary and theoretical aspect as well as from the aspect of folklore. Having in mind these two aspects as starting points, we have been trying to suggest the classification system of division which could have purely practical purpose (in computer catalogization), but also in permanent study and the interpretation of particular poems. The solution was found in the compromise between literary theory and folklore criteria, so that the division between oral lyrical poems according to the record and according to the application has been suggested. It seems that the division is appropriate to the analyzed structure, without any illusions about its universal application and comprehensive description.
