Abstract:
Text World Theory is a powerful framework for discourse analysis that, thus
far, has only been used in monolingual Anglophone stylistic analyses. This
work adapts Text World Theory for the analysis of Spanish discourse, and in
doing so suggests some improvements to the way in which it deals with
discourse - in particular, with direct speech and conditional expressions.
Furthermore, it applies Text World Theory in a novel way, searching not for
style in language, but for the style of a language.
Focusing principally on deixis and modality, the author examines whether
Spanish speakers and English speakers construct the narrative text-world in
any patterned ways. To do so, the 'frog story' methodology is employed,
eliciting spoken narratives from native adult speakers of both languages by
means of a children's picture book. These narratives are transcribed and
subjected to a qualitative text-world analysis, which is supported with a
quantitative corpus analysis. The results reveal contrasts in Spanish and
English speakers' use of modality and deixis in building the same narrative
text-world, and are relevant to scholars working in language typology,
cross-cultural pragmatics and translation studies. These novel applications of
the Text World Theory push the boundaries of stylistics in new directions,
broadening the focus from monolingual texts to languages at large.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
