What is Orality vs. Literacy: Key Differences about?

Orality and literacy involve different ways of understanding the world. Orality is based on relational identity within groups and uses metonymy to represent reality, with space as the main axis of ordering information. Literacy abstracts individuals from groups and uses metaphor, valuing change and ordering reality along time. While orality perceives time cyclically and is reluctant to change, literacy views time linearly and sees change positively.
