dc.description.abstractEn | A central – but often underestimated – feature of human cognition is narrative imagining (Turner 1996), a process best defined as the adoption of narrative format to report and analyse experience, and more generally to make sense of the world. Humans are fundamentally storytelling creatures that are constantly engaged in the socio-cognitive process of giving narrative accounts or rationalizations2 of their lives (Johnson 1993: 150-84). The narrative framing of self and action requires the conversion of experience into mental, perceptual, physical, or communicative events3, involving actors, plots and settings. As Mark Turner (1996) hypothesizes, story could well be the backbone of syntax, and participant roles the foundation of argument structure. | |
