Abstract:

This book shows the role of specific linguistic structures in the creation of 
formulaic, artistic patterns in Quechua legendary narratives and explores how 
the patterns function in relation to concepts such as main event line and 
other rhetorical structures.  The analysis of the texts into artistic patterns is 
mainly based on Dell Hymes's criteria; thus "pattern numbers," initial 
connectives and evidential markers play an important role in the pattern 
formations. The Quechua texts also show that the switch-reference markers 
and/or the rotation of subject in general is crucial to the structuring of the 
texts. The analysis moreover shows how the different patterns discovered are 
closely tied to rhetorical/cognitive structures, as they are perceived and lined 
out by various linguists, especially those of Robert Longacre and Wallace L. 
Chafe. The analysis of the texts prompts various questions in regards to the 
functions of the linguistic structures mentioned. Some of these get specific 
attention in the final chapter which also includes a discussion that seeks to 
find an explanation of the textual patterns through looking at universal artistic 
patterns as outlined by other scholars, as well as looking to some Quechua 
cultural patterns. About the author: Ågot Bergli received the Dr. art. (Ph.D.) in 
linguistics in 2002 from Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet 
(NTNU), Trondheim.She has worked with SIL International since 1979, 
primarily as an editor of works on Quechua and discourse studies.
