Definition(s)

  • Orality, a term used in anthropology to interpret the performances of “verbal art,” was not a term created or defined by anthropologists for their particular use. It is a very old concept, formulated as the opposite of “literacy,” and has a long history in the humanities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Orality and Anthropology]
