DEF

Tradition orale, ainsi élevée à la dignité de littérature, symétriquement à l'écriture.

Le style oral est un véritable genre littéraire. Il s'agit d'une tradition culturelle qui paraît apporter une justification à la création d'un terme, "orature", lequel deviendrait symétrique de celui d'écriture, entendue comme littérature.
