Ethnopoetics

Ethnopoetics is a big word that means studying how different people from different cultures and places around the world use language to tell their stories, talk about their history, and share important information. Imagine how each of us has a unique way of expressing ourselves through language, with different words and expressions that we use in our everyday conversations. Similarly, every culture and community has their own unique way of using language to communicate and tell their stories.

So, when people study ethnopoetics, they try to understand how people from different cultures use language to communicate and express themselves. This includes studying different types of languages, such as poetry, stories, songs, and even dance. Ethnopoetics allows us to learn about different cultures and appreciate the diversity of human expression.
