Person and tense in narrative interpretation
This study investigated the pragmatic role of two grammatical devices, tense and person, in narrative. These devices normally serve deictic functions in nonfictional discourse which are inappropriate in fiction. We present data which support the notion of shifting deictic markers from the world of the reader to that of the story world, and a pragmatic analysis of the possible roles of vanations of tense and person in fiction. Three short stories …
Archaeology and cognitive science
Introduction Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary approach to studying mind and, in particular, intelligent thought and behaviour. It is a relatively new academic discipline which is developing from a merger of interests among certain linguists, psychologists, philosophers, computer scientists, anthropologists, neuroscientists and others (Norman 1981). Historically, however, cognitive science has not generally been extended to include archae…
Structure and function of verbal conflicts among adults with mental retardation
The discourse competence of mentally retarded residents of a group home was studied by examining their arguments. Tape recordings of naturally occurring speech were collected by a participant observer; the arguments therein were transcribed for analysis. Arguments among the residents gave evidence of being an acceptable and sought after discourse genre, and residents were able to participate in them successfully regardless of their linguistic abi…
The role of interclausal connectives in narrative structuring: Evidence from adults' interpretations of simple stories
This study explores the role of interclausal connectives as a set of linguistic devices which help the reader interpret a narrative text. We show that: (a) even simple narrative texts have a range of interpretations; (b) the variability of the interpretations decreases with the presence of the interclausal connectives; (c) the role of two connectives, then and and, serve primarily to identify variations in continuity between information in the in…
