Abstract:

In recent years, the focus of linguistic research has shifted from sentence to
larger units such as text and discourse and accordingly from syntax to
semantics and pragmatics. This has led to the development and application of
corresponding discourse semantic and pragmatic theories such as, for instance,
(S)DRT, Centering Theory, Accessibility Theory, QUD, Generalized
Conversational Implicatures, Super Monsters and Gesture Semantics and new
empirical approaches in the framework of experimental semantics and pragmatics
or corpus linguistic discourse analysis. The contributions to this collected
volume build on these developments and investigate the linguistic foundations
of narration from various perspectives. The contributions address topics such
as speech and thought representation, free indirect speech, information
structure, anaphora resolution, co-speech gestures, classifier constructions
as well as role shift and constructed action. The volume provides new insights
in the linguistic structures underlying narration in written, spoken, and sign
languages from an experimental, developmental, historical, typological, and
theoretical perspective. The contributions will appeal to theoretical
linguists, sign language linguists, typologists, literary scholars,
psycholinguists, and philosophers.
