Summary/Abstract: Texts stored and applied by the community fill the life space with information. The knowledge of the place, of the past, of inhabitants and buildings, and the moral norms it implies, create the horizon of belonging together, the unity of place. The communication processes mediate information, create relations of solidarity or asymmetry between generations and individuals, between people and their environment.The local ballad has been noted and researched since the beginnings of ballad ethnography. It is a discursive form using lyrics and melody. It is a form of objectified memory that creates a sense for history, a consciousness of the past. Apart from these, the ballad solidifies a moral system of norms, a sense for different situations, dangers and risks. The local ballad is important also because it regulates social relationships and sustains certain attitudes for longer periods of time.
