Different typologies of songs that take into consideration themes, aesthetic heritage, types of refrain, etc. have already been established. The typology presented in this article puts thematic criteria aside in order to emphasize blending between signed songs (where the author and/or composer is known in a published context) and songs from an oral tradition (which are propagated by oral transmission). These blends are based on processes of distribution, reception and the creation of compositions for academic study. In this context, the author deemed it important to create an appropriate terminology to allow us to take into consideration model songs from the Middle Ages to the present time. The examples are chosen essentially from francophone culture.
