Abstract

There is a whole series of facts that common sense generically calls folklore, which are of a vulgar character and have a great diffusion among the people. At the same time, there is a discipline that groups and studies them, called the Science of Folklore ... . Such is the object of the present investigation, but not with the purpose of doing it as a folklorologist, who is a specialized theoretical scientist, but with a sociological criterion, in order to consider the generic aspect of the folkloric fact, thus establishing precise and definite conclusions on this very new branch of sociology, which we can simply call Sociology of folklore.
