Occasions for Institutional Remembering
This chapter discusses occasions for remembering. Occasions are a key issue for understanding how institutions work their past: they allow the study of remembering rather than the study of static representations of the past. An institution's narratives may be collected in an archive, but if this collection is rarely used, the narratives have no life of their own. Rather, it is necessary to discover the activities in which such representations are…

Working the Past: Narrative and Institutional Memory
This book analyzes the role of narratives in institutions, showing how institutions use narratives to remember their past and project a future, and how people within institutions shape and are shaped by institutional stories. The central example provides an ethnography of the structure and use of stories in an American insurance company. Narratives within institutions are used to negotiate collective and individual identity. These identities shap…

The Acquisition of a Speaker by a Story: How History Becomes Memory and Identity
This paper investigates narrative induction as one central means by which institutions acquire new members, and new members acquire a new identity. Narrative induction is the process by which people take on an existing set of stories as relevant to the shaping of their own story. Nonparticipant narratives (narratives told by speakers not present at the events narrated) are used to reproduce collective memory and induct new participants into this …
The Transformation of Narrative Syntax into Institutional Memory
Narrative has been analyzed as a way of recounting the memory of the past and negotiating current group membership. But in an institutional context, it crucially functions to project the future, in constructing a record which can serve as an institutional memory available in case of possible challenges. Using as data an extended oral narrative from a social service agency about an incident of violence by a client, this study shows that the strong…

Life stories: The Creation of Coherence
All adult speakers in Western cultures have life stories, argues Charlotte Linde, and the ways in which these life stories are formed and exchanged with others have a powerful effect on all of us. Life stories express our sense of self, who we are and how we got that way. According to Linde, we also use these stories to show that our lives can be understood as coherent, and to assert or negotiate group membership. These life stories take part in …

The quantitative study of communicative success: Politeness and accidents in aviation discourse
Sociolinguistics has never been a closed or autonomous discipline, but rather has considered relations between linguistic variables and so-called real-world variables, such as age, sex, and social class. Developments in discourse analysis now permit the analysis of the effectiveness of utterances in their real-world context. This study of communicative success uses as its data transcripts of eight aviation accidents, as well as transcripts of fou…
Private stories in public discourse
Temporal networks and VP conjunction
Spatial Networks as a Site for the Study of Language and Thought
A technique has been developed for observing the translation of cognitive input into language in a spontaneous, practiced speech event: descriptions of the lay-outs of apartments. The great majority of such lay-outs are imaginary tours which transform spatial lay outs into temporally organized narratives. The set of discourse rules which govern these speech events is given, and the rules which determine a number of features of sentence grammar ar…
