my 3 year old speaks an oral language
rhymes things
orality v. literacy
Milman Parry = sutdied Iliad & Oddyssey
3000 languages spoken, 78 have literature
Writing cannot exists sans orality, orality can exist sans writing
I watch lola learn orally, copying words, remembering sounds
Writing enhances orality
Writing down an oral piece locks it into a time period, no more evolution via orality
ORality exists only as a potential within certain humans
Writing is imperialist/assimilates other things
orality is to literature as horse is to wheel-free auto
oral literature is a stupid term horse/auto reason
