%X In this paper I continue to examine the oral tradition of the Jbala (northern Morocco) from
the cognitive perspective. I use the notions of frame (topics or scenes) and script (formulaic language),
to demonstrate how the process of poetic creation works in actual time. For this purpose, I propose to
look at the genre of ayyu, a short improvised oral poetic genre intrinsic to the Jbala region. I start with
an introductory section, where I briefly present the field of cognitive poetics, relevant terminology used
by scholars working in this field, and discuss last advances in it. Then I turn to the oral poetry of the
Jbala and demonstrate how exactly frames and scripts operate when poetry is performed live. Further, I
analyze in detail several frames, typical of Jebli poetry together with the scripts associated with them,
and then summarize my findings in the concluding section of the paper.
