| Abstract: | The ethnographic study of folklore in Africa should uncover the principles of folklore communication in each culture and language and learn to ask questions which lead to understanding the folklore of an African society in the same way as members of that community understand it. Attempts to discover the principles of folklore communication must begin with the identification and analysis of the cognitive (names, taxonomy, commentary), expressive (style, content, structure) and social (situational context) distinctive features of folklore forms.
