Using the Concept of Time in Representing Culture in Folklore Texts

Abstract

Folklore texts are rich sources of cultural information that provide insight into the traditions, beliefs, and values of a particular community. One of the aspects that play a decisive role in the expression of culture in folklore texts is the concept of time. This article explores how the use of time in folklore texts can effectively convey cultural elements. By using a wide range of transition words, active voice, and variety of sentences, we explore the importance of time in depicting cultural aspects in traditional narratives.
