The importance of the Cordel Popular Literature as a historical and cultural patrimony, mainly to the Brazilian northeast region, made us to develop a study of such literature and its treatment towards a recovery of the libraries´ stores. The study was based on an analysis of the themes approached in the Cordel Popular Literature aiming at an enlargement of the literature class in the bibliographic classification, considering the classification hypothesis called themes cycles proposed by different authors which would make this enlargement possible. The corpus is constituted of one thousand two hundred and fifty Cordel quarters selected, at random, from the five thousand quarters of the Centro de Documentação do Programa de Pesquisa em Literatura Popular of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba. From this corpus, the production of three hundred and forty‐five poets, out of one thousand and seventy‐three writers included in the collection, was analysed. As the theoretical ground, issues concerning popular culture including popular literature, the concept, the origin and the proposed classification are approached. Greimas´ semiotics is the theoretical basis, mainly the discursivity processes, semantics investment and the figurativization to the analysis of the Cordel quarters discourse, as well as the bibliographical classification and the register used to organize the collection documents within the same theme. The analysis of the Cordel quarters made possible the identification and the extraction of the images that lead to the themes, generating twenty‐seven theme classes which may be incorporated to the Popular Literature class in bibliographic classifications as such: Agriculture, Biographies and Celebrities, Bravery, City and Urban Life, Science, Stories, Crime, Culture, Education, Sports, Erotism, witchcraft, Supernatural phenomena, History, Homosexualism, Humour, Harsh Climate, Justice, Environment, Moral, Death, Fight, Power, Politics and Social issues, Religion, Love Story and Health and Illness. Finally, a description of the elaborated thematic classes is presented, allowing the librarians to index the Cordel quarters more accurately and guarantee that the same system or system akin may use the same concepts to represent similar documents, and facilitate, by sharing the same vocabulary, the communication among the indexer, the user and the system.
