There is a close relationship between folklore and the works of literature. Narratives, poems, and lyrics of mold in folklore are also among the concerns of literature. These works whose creators are no longer remembered and thus have become public property are called “oral literature”. Apart from these works that are called “anonyms literature” there are also individual works of literature that are moulded by the connection of “folklore” and literature. Works of literature produced by the artists who compromise on the “ashik” (minstrel) type and also the ones produced by the artists who compromise on the “dervish” type obtain features which are concerns of the disciplines of “folklore” and “literature”. These works whose creators are known are created in accordance with the traditions and performed within the traditions. The works of verbal cultural heritage called “Inconcrete Cultural Heritage” – including also the ones whose creators are known- are remoulded in every performance in congruence to the agreement with UNESCO. For this reason, it is be possible to make adjustments in the works of oral culture according to new social needs of society. In this article, while determining the fields of folklore and literature the aim is to make an evaluation about the features and staff of the literature branch, that we call “traditional literature”, which appears at the junction of these two fields, namely folklore and literature. When these studies, dating back a 100 years ago, are examined we see that the field of folklore studies has been expanding and that some confusions with terms and the needs for new terms arise. Solution suggestions to some of these confusions with terms and searching for equivalents to some needs of the new terms are among the goals of this article.
