Abstract
SERRANO, JONATHAN and ALARCON NEVE, LUISA JOSEFINA. Narration and discourse presentation in a Corpus of Elicited Narratives. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2022, n.40, pp.1-. Epub May 14, 2023. ISSN 0121-053X. https://doi.org/10.19053/0121053x.n40.2023.14407.
The study of discourse presentation in children's narratives has been limited to the analysis of direct and indirect speech (reported speech). Thus, other useful structures for narrating and presenting speech, thought, and writing have not been yet considered. This paper aims to account for the diversity in children's narratives, as well as demonstrate the applicability of a stylistic-literary analysis model of fictional narrative prose to the study of elicited narratives. We use an elicited corpus composed of twenty narratives in Spanish produced by young schoolchildren during a guided retelling task. The results show the stylistic diversity of this corpus and support the use of this model in the stylistic analysis of elicited narratives. This approach introduces a broader way of studying language development though the observation of style in narratives.
