Dear LINGUISTs,
 
About 2 weeks ago, I asked for additional information on narrative
structures for my research, I am working on. This research concerns a
structuralisation of 1500 Dutch folktales. I - as many others - strongly
believe that there is something as a story-grammar (text-grammar),
comparable with the sentence-grammar. However, there is lots of discussion
among scholars about the formulation of such a grammar.
The reactions on my request were very helpful. The list of references
several LINGUISTs gave me, are too extensive to present here. Anybody
interested in `a' bibliography of articles and works on narrative
structure, is asked to send me a short message to which I will reply with
this bibliography (M.M.Louwerse at stud.let.ruu.nl). Any further reactions are
still welcome, of course.
I would like to express my gratitude to the following persons:
 
Sylvie Berard, who is currently working on a dissertation on the
convergence of discourse and identity in "SF in the women's side";
 
Anna Hildebrandt;
 
Lyn Pemberton, who wrote a PhD thesis on narrative structures
in the Old French epic. (1984 Story Structure: A Narrative
Grammar of Nine Chansons de Geste of the Guillaume d'Orange
Cycle (PhD thesis) University of Toronto);
 
William Rapaport;
 
Linda Rashidi, who did a systematization of Western fairy tales
(a model of a Systemic/Functional approach to a network of nar-
rative) (1988.  "Functional co-occurrence restrictions in the
fairy tale."  In: Systemic Functional Approaches to Discourse,
eds. James Benson and William Greaves.  Ablex);
 
Toshiki Tanaka, who is currently studying summarization at the
University of Tsukuba;
 
Victor-Laurent Tremblay, who has studied the relation between
folkloristic tales and the narrative structures of myths. (1991
Au commencement etait le Mythe. Ottawa, Presses de l'Univ.
d'Ottawa);
