- Abstract
The book "Collective Memory and Oral Text" by Marta Wójcicka examines the topic of collective memory from a linguistic and folkloristic perspective. The author primarily analyzes Polish fairy tales, ballads, folk songs, legends, and narratives to demonstrate how collective memory is constructed through oral texts of folklore. She emphasizes the importance of language and communication in the formation of collective memory and discusses the functions and characteristics of collective memory. The book offers methodological openness and is based on various inspiring sources, including ethnolinguistics, genre linguistics, and memory culture research. Wójcicka's work provides a relevant contribution to the linguistic exploration of collective memory and highlights the significance of linguistic formalism.
