“…One of these sentences is in the remote tense. This sentence (34) is the "anchor" (see Fludernik 1992) for the entire narrative, serving as it does as a catalyst for the specific events that follow: In the sentence immediately following (35a), the tense changes from remote to simple tense. Here, the narrator takes some poetic license (36b).…”

“…Although the grammatical constructions used to express those links are clear, much remains to be done. The subtleties implicit in deictic switching, narrative discourse markers (Fludernik 1992;, the correlation of dialogic grammatical strategy and genre (see Labov and Waletzky 1967 for the "personal narrative," for example), and the similarities and differences between and among these issues across Aymara variants (and in comparison to Quechua narratives) will yield important knowledge into how the units of narrative structure coincide with those of linguistic structure.…”

“…This restriction can be captured under the double tier structure of narratives proposed by Fludernik (1991Fludernik ( , 1992, according to which the historical present can only occur within the plotline of the narrative, but not within the different types of off-plotline that are abundantly attested in conversational narratives. 6 Clearly, 6 In Fludernik's own words: What I will call the plotline includes the following elements: the initial abstract and orientation sections; the incipit (the clause defining the onset of action by means of a temporal specifier: one day, on Monday etc.…”

In this paper, I present a new case of overgeneration for the semantic view on identity in ellipsis. Concretely, I show that a radical version of the semantic approach to the identity condition on ellipsis, in particular, one with the notion of mutual entailment at its heart, wrongly predicts as grammatical cases of TP-ellipsis in Spanish where a (formal) present tense feature on T in the antecedent entails a (formal) past tense feature in the elliptical constituent and vice versa. However, this is not attested: present tense cannot serve as a suitable antecedent for formal past tense in TP-ellipsis contexts, regardless of pragmatic entailment. On the basis of this and other new observations in the realm of tense and ellipsis, several consequences for the theory of identity in ellipsis, on the one hand, and the proper representation of tense in natural languages, on the other, are also discussed.

“…Human experience typically embraces goaloriented behaviour and activity, with its reaction to obstacles encountered on the way. The appearance of such an obstacle in one's path also constitutes a major event experience, and one which is reflected in the central incidence Schema (Pollak 1988) of oral narratives (Quasthoff 1980;Fludernik 1991Fludernik , 1992a. This unexpected occurrence indeed dynamically triggers the reaction of the Protagonist, and it is this three-part Schema of 'Situation -event (incidence) -reaction to event' which constitutes the core of all human action experience.…”

“…In this Schema teleology combines the goal-orientation of the acting subject and the after-the-fact evaluation of narrative experience. I will have quite a good deal to say about this basic pattern when discussing natural narrative 20 but here refer the reader to Quasthoff (1980) and Fludernik (1991Fludernik ( , 1992a.…”

The following is a somewhat reshaped extract from work in progress 1 on a theory of narrative that Spans the entire spectrum of narrative genres. In contrast to the 'classic' narratologies of Bai, Chatman, Genette, Prince or Stanzel, this model sets out to discuss narrativity, not from the vantage point of the realist and Modernist novel or short story, but from the perspective of those discourse types which have hitherto attracted comparatively little sustained analysis: oral and pseudo-oral types of storytelling, including conversational narrative, oral poetry and oral history; historical writing; early forms of written narrative (the medieval verse epic, medieval histories and saints' lives, storytelling in early letters from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, narrative of the Elizabethan age up to Aphra Behn); and, at the other end of the spectrum, postmodernist writing (including the fairly well-known types of neutral narrative and the present tense novel, but also fiction in the second person and in the we form, or employing #, one äs well äs German man or French on ; skaz-lype narratives; and experimental writing from Beckett to Maurice Röche, Clarice Lispector, or Kazuo Ishiguro and Christa Wolf). Such an emphasis on what I am tempted to call the non-canonical forms of narrative (non-canonical, that is, within present-day theoretical discussions of the novel) triggers a number of modifications of current narratological paradigms äs well äs raising some serious methodological questions about the basic presuppositions of the classical paradigms. An analysis of non-canonical narrative therefore prepares the way for fresh reconceptualizations of the storytelling mode, resulting in the proposal of a new narratological paradigm that is based on cognitive parameters and a reader response framework, and that allows one to integrate fictional and non-fictional types of narrative. From this perspective, the realist underpinnings of classical narratology can be transcended in the Brought to you by |
