Folk ballad


Explanation:
Mani, anonim bir halk edebiyatı türü ve anonim halk baladlarına denir, her dörtlüğe veya balada değil. Anonim olan balad ise "folk ballad" edebi türü altında değerlendirilir. The City University of New York'un edebi terimler sözlüğünde şöyle geçiyor:

Ballad: a relatively short narrative poem, written to be sung, with a simple and dramatic action.
The folk ballad is usually anonymous and the presentation impersonal. The literary ballad deliberately imitates the form and spirit of a folk ballad.
