Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the complex relations between oral literature and Branko Ćopic’s works for children and youth. The author tries to point out the possibilities of transpositions of some key poetic features of oral literature (illusion of oral naration, repetitions, variance, traditionalism), but also of stylistic and specially inter-genre over-lappings between oral and written literature. In that sense, attention is directed to the mutual relations within Copic’s works (novels, short stories, fairy tales, long poems, poetry) and oral prose genres (oral tradition, fairy tales, deception naratives, humorous folk stories, fables, stories about animals, short stories), folk beliefs and customs, short prose forms and oral poetry. In addition the viewing the manner of transposition, the research also implies viewing of different functional relations between two corpora of texts, particularly the various types of Copic’s parody of the elements taken from oral literature.
