Abstract:

Language does not consist solely of isolated words or sentences. Many
sentences are connected together into longer stretches of discourse.
Anyone engaging in the study of a language needs to consider the
factors involved in associating sentences together so that the result
is a coherent whole. Narrative* in particular employs both creative
and economic features of the language to maximum effect.

The approach presented in this volume has been used to analyze
narratives in more than 500 languages.

Topics include

preparation and charting of texts for analysis
factors involved in the ordering of constituents within sentences
backgrounding and highlighting devices
connectives
reporting conversation in narrative
participant reference
This self-instruction course will help those who have completed an
initial language learning and analysis phase in a language project,
are planning to be involved in a Scripture translation project, or are
engaged in the study of a language spoken anywhere in the world.

Recommended prerequisites are the completion of a Language Study
Skills track of an assignment-related training course, with associated
field experience or its equivalent. Students will need an appropriate
selection of narrative texts in the language they are studying.
