, QUESTION 1
(a) What do you understand by the term ‘folklore’? Discuss. (5)
Folklore is generally defined by scholars as ''a form of art which is delivered by word of
mouth from generation to generation and later reproduced verbatim from memory”.
Folklore is oral history that is preserved by the people of the culture, consisting of traditions
belonging to a specific culture. These traditions usually include music, stories, history,
legends, and myths.
There are aspects that constitute the total performance such as performer, audience and
occasion.
Folklore allows people to give meaning to their lives and their surroundings. Because
every culture has different historical backgrounds and traditions, folklore has a different
definition to each culture.

Myths: Principal characters are non-human, possibly divine, they interact with human
beings.
