Summary/Abstract: The book "Looking at Kotlen's Humorous Folk Song" is a monographic study that traces the characteristics of Kotlen's humorous folk songs - an understudied category of songs, largely spread only in Kotlensko. The song material, the object of the present study, amounts to a total of 58 songs and is the result of various sources - field materials recorded in the period 2001-2010, audio and video recordings, as well as the collections "From the source song flows /authentic Kotlen folk songs/ ", Part I (1993), "Folk Songs from Thrace" (2013) and "Bulgarians - 672 Unpublished Folk Songs from the Kosta Kolev Archive" (2018). The subject of research in the main part of the exhibition are the peculiarities of humorous chants in relation to their functional, metrorhythmic, poetic, form-forming, structural and ladomelodic specificities. The goal is an attempt to clarify the overall appearance of the chants and, if possible, to bring out common features characteristic of humorous song samples. To achieve the objectives of the study, the following research methods were used: observation, interview, description, analysis, synthesis and comparison.
