Columbia, MO: Center for Studies in Oral Tradition. Oral Tradition 11/1 (1996): 85 - 98.The first urgent research task is therefore to establish intensive cooperation in creating a Motif catalogue of the Mongolian epic. The first step towards this goal is to encourage monographic studies of single motifs. The second task, closely related to the catalogue, is to collect and record those epics still extant in Mongolia and in the Inner Mongolian districts of China. Although many of them are no longer transmitted by professional singers, but only remembered by a younger generation and repeated according to hearsay, the epics must not be allowed to fade out unrecorded. To secure this oral and semiliterary material for coming generations as well as to enable scholars to work on an international basis, the third task must be the creation of an archive of epic oral tradition under the guidance of an international body.
