Abstract:

Telling stories in conversations is intricately interwoven with the
interactive and local functions of story telling. Telling stories demands a
certain kind of context and in itself establishes a particular interactive
reality. Thus, narration is a specific kind of verbal interaction, governed
by contextualizing devices, genre-specific cooperative regularities and
corresponding verbal features. It plays an important role in institutional
as well as in private modes of communication. The volume focuses on
narration as a contextualized and contextualizing activity, which allocates
specific structural tasks to the participants in the narrative process
(narrator, co-narrator, listener). Thus, the research questions are
oriented towards story telling under a functional and interactive
perspective. The contributions analyze recordings of authentic narrations
in different functions using different kinds of qualitative reconstructive
methods. The data come from everyday as well as institutional settings and
the languages covered are English, German, Greek, Hungarian, and Italian.
