The objective of this paper is to illuminate the role of oral-formulas in Swahili oral narrative performances. Swahili oral narratives are realized in performances. Story-telling in Swahili societies is regarded as a specific event. Performance is an organizing principle of a work of art in oral literature. The use of oral-formulas is a stylistic feature of Swahili oral narratives. Stylized formulas occur at both the beginning and the end. Thus, the stylistic device can be regarded as a communicative means that signal to the audience that a particular act of expression is being performed. For performers, it functions as a means of announcing their intention to tell stories, while they test the audience’s willingness to hear stories and recapture the audience attention. The formula of the opening of a typical Swahili oral narrative is well known. “Paukwa” is the traditional opening formula that Swahili performers use to begin oral narrative performances, and then the audience responds to it by saying “Pakawa.” Closing formulas in Swahili oral narratives are various. Some stories end with short sentences, and others have sentences that are more elaborate. There are also stock phrases right after the opening formulas and before the closing formulas in Swahili oral narratives. Usually Swahili oral narratives open with introduction of characters and settings. Unlike introductory phrases, it is not easy to find dominant ending phrases in Swahili oral narratives. However, many stories end with the phrase, “... wakakaa raha na mstarehe”Internal formulas related to specific images play crucial roles in organizing narrative structures. The repetition of such formulaic expressions form the structural focus of Swahili oral narrative performances. The principle underlying the generation of oral narratives can be interpreted by analyzing the oral-formulas in the formal structure of oral narratives
