“Folklore is not sociology but is shares with it the concept of register, folklore is not anthropology but it shares with it a desire to understand culture, folklore is not linguistics, but is shares with it an interest in regional variations of speech, folklore is not history but the folklorist and the oral historian have much in common, including their informants, and so on. Thus I see folklore as one of several partially overlapping fields of inquiry, each scrutinizing, analyzing, interpreting its own segment of the world.” From the “Folklore and . . . What?” by W. H. F. Nicolaisen
