The study of oral tradition is distinct from the academic discipline of [[oral history]], which is the recording of personal memories and histories of those who experienced historical eras or events.  It is also distinct from the study of [[orality]], which can be defined as [[thought]] and its verbal expression in societies where the technologies of [[literacy]] (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population.
