The thesis is a description and analysis of the oral style
devices on four collections undertaken by G.Beutler, G. de
Granda, F. Dougherty and G. Hersalek in Colombia. Themes and
their transmitters are analysed. Oral features such as formulas,
the uses of repetition and parallelism as well as variability are
explored in individual chapters which are illustrated with
Colombian texts.
The thesis consists of an introduction to the theme of the Oral
Spanish Balladry and its collections; a summarized description of
the primary sources; an annotated transcription of our
compilation of texts in the department of Boyaca and five
chapters of analysis and description of oral style mechanisms.
Charts showing the themes collected in Colombia and the number,
gender and age of its repositories are included. Maps indicate
the departments in Colombia where those themes were found.
Graphs have the purpose to show a clearer perspective on the
distribution of the Spanish Balladry in Colombia, thus, offering
a guide for new researchers.
This analysis shows that the Colombian transmitters have made use
both of the oral style devices inherited from Spain as well as
their own initiative that has produced innovations at different
levels in this tradition. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1997.
