Abstract

In this contribution we discuss the consistency and the range of study of an oral archive based on the reading of the well-known Aesop’s fable “The North wind and the Sun” in different languages and dialects. The database currently hosts more than 500 sound files and from 2017 it is available online as a platform or an interactive map with a new setting (http://www.lfsag.unito.it/ark/trm_index.html).
