Abstract

The intrinsic relationship between oral tradition tales and the transmission of values is generally taken for granted. However, all publications focusing on this topic simply mention the important role that oral tradition literature plays in the transmission of values, and there is a very large gap in its objective study. The aim of this study is to identify how the lexicon linked to values, read from the Corpus Linguistics using a computational analysis of tales, is present in the oral tradition, contextualizing its occurrences either from a global perspective or from a comparative- contrastive perspective, in order to allow the critical reflection of the contents, their articulation with the necessary intervention in society and the vocabulary richness that the texts present. The authors who have contributed the most to Corpus Linguistics since the second half of the last century to the present will be identified in the Introduction. This work is the first reflection that is made, for what is known, between the Corpus Linguistics and the lexicon of the values of the tales of oral tra- dition. The methodology used will consist of an analysis using automatic text analysis programs and the conclusions will be in line with the objectives described below.
