British folklore play title has an artificial nature since folklore collectors create them for the purpose of convenience in cataloguing. It explains their specific forms that usually reflect 1. the name of the place and the date of the recording; 2. the form of the performance; 3. the festival it belongs to; 4. the main character’s name; 5. the belonging to a certain cycle; and 6. the reminiscence of the plot.
The functions that British folk play title performs result from the fact that the title acts as a leading element for the performer by specifying topics, plots, motives, structure and composition. Their role in the avant-text presupposes nomination, information, prediction as well as framing and structuring the variant even before its performance.
