Vernacular fiction refers to literary works that are written in the everyday language of a particular region or community, rather than in a formal or standardized language. This type of fiction often reflects the cultural norms, values, and beliefs of the community in which it is written. Vernacular fiction can encompass a wide range of genres, including novels, short stories, poetry, and folk tales. Researchers studying vernacular fiction may explore how language and storytelling techniques are used to convey specific cultural experiences and perspectives. They may also analyze how vernacular fiction reflects social, political, and historical contexts.
