| In contrast to orality, writing offers to tradition the apparent advantages of physical duration, precision, and detail. |
| Regardless of the degree of complexity, the interactive component of orality cannot be maintained in writing. |
| This shift in sensibility toward orality is not a single literary movement, as it has sometimes been misconstrued. |
| Within the broader Chinese culture, every effort was made to preserve characteristics of orality. |
| This experience eventually settled and became more uniform through the means and constraints of orality. |
| Harper's poem, wonderfully modulated in its orality, speaks to such an audience. |
