adult native frog stories

[Miguel Perez Pereira]

Dear Maja,
Eugenia Sebastian has conducted a research on narratives with Spanish speaking children. She used the frog story to elicit narratives and publised a few papers on the topic, one of them with Dan Slobin in Berman and Slobin's book on narratives. She is at the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology. Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. Her e-mail is eugenia.sebatian at uam.es 
In my Department 2 doctoral dissertations on the topic were presented a few years ago. However, in our case, children´s narratives were in Galician (a minority Romance language very close to Spanish which is spoken in our region).
Best wishes.

  Asunto: adult native frog stories


  Dear all, 
   
  I have just joined info-childes and already I need help. I am a student of linguistics at the university of Copenhagen and would like to compare Danish frog stories with English and Spanish data for my BA project. More specifically I hope to find out whether Danish narrators use a more static, locative description when introducing new referents. However, i'm in need of oral adult frog stories in native Spanish and English. As far as I can tell there are some English ones among the data in Childes, but I could probably need some more. As for Spanish ones I haven't found any. 
   
  I read in the archives a message of some years ago from a Rosa Graciela Montes, saying that she had some Spanish stories, but my e-mail to the given address was returned. So, are you out there sra. Montes? Or does anybody else have a current contact e-mail address for her? I would highly appreciate the help. Alternatively, has someone got such data themselves - that they wouldn't mind sharing? I hope that I'll be able to contribute something myself on a later occasion.
   
   
  Thank you and kind regards,
