The author of this article is trying to provide insight on the basics of oral literature and its significance for populations. She does this by pointing out their mutual dependence on futile marginalisation of oral literature and how means of media has conveyed this. Emphasis has been placed on the foundations of the normality of Croatian literature and how certain relations between individuals and collectives have influenced the establishment of oral literature. This article has provided a ready-analysed form of oral literature from a small village in the hinterlands of Trogir known as Primonski Dolac; this village falls within the Dinaric cultural zone. Exclusive field research and numerous interviews with informants have found various examples of Illirian secular songs formally known as ‘Ojkavica’, weddings as folk theatre, life stories, microstructures, and historic artefacts. The purpose of all this was to preserve parts of undiscovered verbal treasures from certain Dalmatian hinterland villages with the intention to raise awareness about the foundations of oral literature of certain areas, and to stress the importance of its preservation for future generations.
