Abstract:

This thesis offers an approach to the history of mythographical discourse through the figure of Theseus and his appearances in texts from England, Italy and France. Analysing a range of poetic, historical, and allegorical works that feature Theseus alongside their classical and contemporary intertexts, it is a study of the conceptions of Greco-Roman mythology prevalent in European literature from 1300-1600. Focusing on mythology’s pervasive presence as a background to medieval and early modern literary and intellectual culture, it draws attention to the fragmentary, fluid and polymorphous nature of mythology in relation to its use for different purposes in a wide range of texts. The first impact of this study is to draw attention to the distinction between mythology and mythography, as a means of focusing on the full range of interpretative processes associated with the ancient myths in their textual forms. Returning attention to the processes by which writers and readers came to know the Greco-Roman myths, it widens the commonly accepted critical definition of ‘mythography’ to include any writing of or on mythology, while restricting ‘mythology’ to its abstract sense, meaning a traditional collection of tales that exceeds any one text. This distinction allows the analyses of the study’s primary texts to display the full range of interpretative processes and possibilities involved in rewriting mythology, and to outline a spectrum of linked but distinctive mythographical genres that define those possibilities. Breaking down into two parts of three chapters each, the thesis examines Theseus’ appearances across these mythographical genres, first in the period from 1300 to the birth of print, and then from the birth of print up to 1600. Taking as its primary texts works by Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Lydgate and William Shakespeare along with their classical intertexts, it situates each of them in regard to their multiple defining contexts. Paying close attention to the European traditions of commentary, translation and response to classical sources, it shows mythographical discourse as a vibrant aspect of medieval and early modern literary culture, equally embedded in classical traditions and contemporary traditions that transcended national and linguistic boundaries.

Este presente trabalho concentra-se na questão se O'Neill, um teatrólogo moderno por definição e tempo, pode ser considerado um escritor trágico em tempos modernos. A dissertação investiga a presença de características da tragédia Grega em O'Neill, mostrando que ele segue o conceito clássico de tragédia encontrado na Poética de Aristóteles. Este trabalho também demonstra que O'Neill adota mitos, temas e estruturas do teatro Grego em suas tragédias modernas, especialmente na trilogia: Mourning Becomes Electra. Esta investigação é feita através do estudo comparativo entre a tragédia Grega, representada por três dramaturgos Gregos: Ésquilo com sua tragédia, a trilogia Oresteia, Sófocles com Electra e Eurípides com Electra, e a tragédia moderna representada pela trilogia de O'Neill Mourning Becomes Electra. No desenvolvimento da tese nós tentamos mostrar as semelhanças e diferenças entre O'Neill e os Gregos. Este trabalho também pretende iluminar a obra de O'Neill através do uso do método comparativo, desde que esta é basicamente uma dissertação em O'Neill como exemplo de teatrólogo moderno com características e temas clássicos.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is primarily concerned with the Pragmatics of the Modern Greek (MG) grammatical system. A secondary aim is the investigation of the relationship between morpho-syntax, phonology and pragmatics’ related features which form part of the grammar, in allowing a speaker’s intention to be formulated into a linguistic expression. The term grammatical mood is used in this work as the category which includes ‘all grammatical elements operating on a situation/proposition, that are not directly concerned with situating an event in the actual world, as conceived by the speaker’ (Hengeveld 2004). Moreover, the analysis undertaken follows the framework provided by Hengeveld et al. (2007) of a systematic hierarchical classification of propositional and behavioural basic illocutions. Recent research has provided an extensive analysis of the syntax and semantics of the MG verb moods; this thesis focuses on the way illocution is codified in a speaker’s message, through the morphosyntactic and phonological choices the speaker has made. Based on morphosyntactic criteria, five MG grammatical moods are formally distinguished, namely the Indicative, the Subjunctive, the Imperative, the Prohibitive and the Hortative. Furthermore, the five prosodic contours available to a speaker when forming a linguistic expression are identified, which contribute to the specification of particular uses. The main contribution of this thesis is a systematic representation of the basic illocutions of MG based on markers that have an illocutionary impact, such as the Verb Mood, the Negation, the Clitic Placement, the Intonation Patterns and any Additional Segmental Strategies used by MG speakers. In addition to Theoretical Linguistics and Pragmatics, the findings could benefit several other disciplines, including natural language acquisition, first and second language teaching as well as natural language interfaces, human-machine interaction, speech processing systems, and on-line language learning systems.

Full text

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is to trace the dialogue between the Greek cinéma d' auteur and Greek literature focusing on film adaptations of Greek literature from 1964 to 2001. It is argued that film adaptations are a sensitive prism through which to examine the auteurs’ cultural politics regarding their work and, through that, understand the economy of the auteurist cultural production itself. The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter One presents the history of the creation of the Greek cinéma d' auteur and traces its developments in relation to the concepts of national and high art. The principle argument is that Greek literature, endowed with notions of high art and national identity, played a key role in the gradual emergence, formation and consolidation of auteurism as a cinema that enunciates national identity and articulates high art values. The next four chapters examine four film adaptations each made by an acclaimed auteur. The chapters endeavour to investigate the identity politics of each director in relation to the categories of high and national art that defined the Greek cinéma d' auteur. Moreover, the chapters aim to study the politics involved in the validation or renegotiation of auteurism itself. The major contribution of the thesis is the exploration of film adaptations of Greek literature in the Greek cinéma d' auteur which has not been systematically discussed so far. Furthermore, the investigation of the two separate components that make up the subject of the thesis, namely cinema and literature, both from a theoretical perspective and within the framework of film studies, aligns the thesis with recent discussions in Modern Greek Studies and theoretical debates about authorship in films, film adaptations as well as peripheral cinemas.

Abstract:

This thesis analyses three modern plays that are identified as modern tragedies, Equus, A View From the Bridge and Long Day&
#8217
s Journey Into the Night, to find out whether they share certain themes with classical Greek tragedies. These themes are namely values and conflict, hamartia and learning through suffering. Three Greek plays, Agamemnon, Oedipus Rex and Medea will be used as foils to conduct this comparative study. The study will aim to support the view that these major themes appear both in ancient Greek and modern tragedies.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis considers the crisis in the portrayal of national spaces and national identities, insecure in the multiplicity of their cultural roots and thus diasporic and hybrid, from 1922, a year marked for its importance in the disintegration of imperial Britain and in the positioning of Greece on the threshold of its European literary Modernist inheritance, until 1952, the year of Louis MacNeice’s observations of Greece in his poetry collection Ten Burnt Offerings. The boundaries of cultures, states, religious beliefs and genders are considered in the figures of T.S. Eliot’s Mr. Eugenides, C.P. Cavafy’s Myris, Kostes Palamas’s Phemius, W. B. Yeats’s Crazy Jane and Demetrios Capetanakis’s Greek Orlando and the Greek space is explored as John Lehmann’s Mediterranean home and Louis MacNeice’s Easter gathering. The opening chapter considers the bardic performance of Yeats and Palamas’s poetic alter-egos and their respective progress towards a fusion with the feminine and a battle with the modern. Smyrna, an area of contention for British imperial and Greek irredentist claims raising questions about the stability of national states and national identities, is discussed in Chapters 2 and 3 in the way it informed the construction of identities in Eliot’s The Waste Land and Cavafy’s poetry, respectively. Chapters 4 and 5 consider the literary encounter between Capetanakis and Lehmann, a pair that advanced the dissemination of modern Greek poetry in Britain. The final chapter of the thesis examines MacNeice’s poetry and radio features inspired by Greece in an effort to explore how the imagining of Greece has developed both visually and metaphorically in the post-war years.

Abstract:

L'influence de l'anglais est évidente sur les langues du monde entier. L'anglais est considéré comme une langue de communication mondiale et est utilisé par un grand nombre de locuteurs du monde entier dans leurs interactions. Il est clair que l'anglais domine dans de nombreux aspects de la vie quotidienne tels que la technologie, la science, les médias et Internet. Toutes les influences observées sur les langues du monde qui sont dues à l'influence de l'anglais relèvent de la notion d'anglicisation, qui couvre tous les niveaux de l'analyse linguistique. Dans ma thèse, j'étudie l'influence de l'anglais sur le grec moderne, qui a été particulièrement forte au cours des deux à trois dernières décennies. J'examine le phénomène de l'anglicisation du grec moderne en tenant compte de l'influence de l'anglais à tous les niveaux de l'analyse linguistique, et particulièrement au niveau lexical, phraséologique et morphosyntaxique. J'examine notamment les mots nouvellement importés de l'anglais, tels que blóger (< angl. blogger ‘bloggeur/bloggeuse’), les structures phraséologiques calquées du grec moderne qui traduisent mot à mot les structures anglaises correspondantes, telles que trofí γia sképsi (< angl. food for thought ‘matière à réflexion’), ainsi que les structures morphosyntaxiques qui calquent les structures équivalentes en anglais, telles que les structures nominales pré-modifiées dont le pré-modificateur est un emprunt d’origine anglaise, comme par exemple pdf arxío (< angl. pdf file ‘fichier pdf’) au lieu de arxío pdf (< angl. file pdf ‘fichier pdf’). Pour la collecte et l'analyse de mes données, j'utilise des dictionnaires et des grammaires du grec moderne, ainsi que des corpus de textes comme le Trésor National de la Langue Grecque (Hellenic National Corpus), le Corpus des Textes Grecs (Corpus of Greek Texts) et les corpus de textes disponibles via la plateforme Sketch Engine, ainsi qu'un corpus de textes personnalisé que j'ai construit exclusivement pour mon étude via Sketch Engine. Concernant les emprunts anglais nouvellement importés, j'étudie l'existence des formes non translittérées de ces emprunts en grec moderne et je compare la fréquence d'apparition des formes translittérées et non translittérées (par exemple la forme non translittérée blogger ‘bloggeur/bloggeuse’ au lieu de la forme translittérée <μπλόγκερ> [blóger]). De plus, j'étudie les facteurs responsables de l'utilisation des formes non translittérées des emprunts anglais en examinant leur apparition dans des vocabulaires spécialisés du grec moderne tels que le vocabulaire du sport et de la technologie. En ce qui concerne les unités phraséologiques et les structures morphosyntaxiques calquées, je compare la fréquence d'apparition de la structure calquée à la fréquence d'apparition de la structure équivalente en grec moderne. De plus, j'essaie de déterminer la chronologie de l'insertion des emprunts anglais en grec moderne, et, enfin, je tire quelques conclusions générales concernant l'anglicisation du grec moderne à partir des résultats de ma recherche
The influence of English is evident on languages worldwide. English is considered a global language of communication and is used by a large number of speakers worldwide for their interactions. It is clear that English dominates many aspects of daily life, such as technology, science, the media and the Internet. All the influences observed on the languages of the world that are due to the influence of English fall under the notion of Anglicisation, that covers all levels of linguistic analysis. In my dissertation I study the influence of English on Modern Greek (MG), which has been particularly strong during the last two to three decades. I aim to examine the phenomenon of Anglicisation in MG taking into account the English influence at all levels of linguistic analysis, focusing particularly on the lexical, phraseological and morphosyntactic level. In particular, I examine newly imported English loanwords, such as blóger < English blogger, phraseological patterns found in MG that are word-by-word translations of the equivalent English ones, such as trofí γia sképsi < English food for thought, as well as morphosyntactic structures that calque the equivalent structures of English, such as a new form of pre-modified NPs where the pre-modifier is an uninflected English loanword, as for example, pdf arxío < English pdf file, instead of arxío pdf ‘file pdf’. In order to analyze my data, I use dictionaries and grammars for MG, as well as MG text corpora, the Hellenic National Corpus, and the Corpus of Greek Texts, the text corpora available through the Sketch Engine platform, but also the customized text corpus that I built exclusively for my data through Sketch Engine. Regarding the newly imported English loanwords, I study the existence of the non-transliterated forms of these loanwords in MG and compare the frequency of appearance of the transliterated and non-transliterated forms (e.g. the non- transliterated form blogger instead of the transliterated <μπλόγκερ> [blóger]). Moreover, I investigate the factors responsible for the appearance and use of non-transliterated forms of the loanwords by examining their appearance in specialized vocabularies of MG, such as the vocabulary of sports and technology. Regarding the phraseological patterns and morphosyntactic structures that calque the equivalent English ones, I compare the frequency of appearance of the calqued structure in MG to the frequency of appearance of the equivalent MG structure. Furthermore, I try to determine the chronology of the insertion of English loanwords in MG, and finally, I draw some general conclusions, regarding Anglicisation in MG, based on the results of the research

Kizis, Costandis. "Modern Greek myths : national stereotypes and modernity in postwar Greece." Thesis, Open University, 2016. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.700469.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis examines the architectural discussion on modernity and national identity in post-war Greece. In particular it focuses on four cases that try to reconcile national stereotypes with modern ideas and reflect the problematic process of absorbing modernity. Each of four cases is examined in a separate chapter and each chapter is concerned with a distinct aspect of the myths of Greekness, which appear in the work and discourse of the four main architects _ protagonists of the thesis: Aris Konstantinidis, Eero Saarinen, Alexandra Moreti and Konstantinos Doxiadis. The thesis seeks to contribute to the dis- solution of myths and constructs in architectural historiography in Greece and add to recent international scholarship on critical issues of national iden- tity and modernity. Time wise, the focus is on the period between the Second World War and the 1974 dictatorship in Greece. Yet, links with the interwar period and with the early period of the Greek state are made, and material published after 1974 (but composed before it) is also examined. A timeline (after the introduction) laying out the basic events of modern Greek history alongside with events that are mentioned in the thesis, aims to facilitate the reader to contextualise them in a wider historical lineage. Part of the thesis is based on original sources in Greek. In cases where translations were unavailable, Greek texts were translated by the author, while the original texts are included in the endnotes.

Chatsiou, Aikaterini (Kakia). "A Lexical Functional Grammar approach to modern Greek relative clauses." Thesis, University of Essex, 2010. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/20558/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis presents an account of the properties of Relative Clauses in Modern Greek, with particular focus on the distribution of the resumption and gap relativization strategies. For the most part relative clauses have been regarded in the literature as a type of Long Distance dependencies with unique properties. This thesis looks at the properties of three types of relative clauses in Modern Greek (restrictive, non-restrictive and free relative clauses). Working in the framework of Lexical Functional Grammar, we present an overview of the most important properties of Modern Greek Relative Clauses focusing on the distribution of the gap and resumption strategies in these constructions. We propose an analysis of Relative Clauses that brings forward the similarities of the three types of Relatives while at the same time manages to account for their dissimilarities, and it is shown that such constructions can be accommodated in LFG quite straightforwardly. The thesis also presents a computational implementation of the analysis using XLE (Xerox Linguistics Environment) a platform for testing and writing LFG grammars.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of Epicurean motifs (Epicurea) within the philosophical system of Thomas Hobbes in general; it examines all aspects of Hobbesian philosophy, viz. first philosophy, physics, anthropology, ethics, and politics within the context of the revival of early-modem Epicureanism and atomism in England as well as Europe. Thereby, it not only attempts to set Hobbes's understanding of Epicureanism in the general context of its reception in the seventeenth century but also to explore the specific Epicurean elements within Hobbes's philosophy. As a consequence, this thesis argues that the genesis of certain Hobbesian ideas must be considered against the background of Hobbes' s encounter with the late Renaissance and humanist Epicurean tradition as well as suggesting that Hobbes' s ideas in anthropology and ethics, but consequently also in his politics, reflect Epicurean motifs to a greater degree as has yet been acknowledged. Chapter One is concerned with establishing the Epicurean background. It primarily focuses on English Epicureanism and the emergence of atomism in England but also considers the continental European influences. The following four chapters are then devoted to exploring the Epicurea in Hobbes's philosophy. Chapter Two discusses Hobbes's concept of philosophy as anti-metaphysics, and it highlights how his understanding of prima philosophia as physica genera/is enabled Hobbes to interpret themes that had classically been related to metaphysics such as the genesis of religion, the conception of theology, and the mortality of the soul according to Epicurean modes of explanation. Chapter Three, then, examines what role ancient and early-modem atomism and Epicureanism played in the genesis of Hobbes's ontology and his ensuing doctrine of sense-perception. Thereby, it shows how Hobbes developed a materialist account of body and sensation independently from Gassendi. The last two chapters centre on morality and politics. They demonstrate how Hobbes's ethical and political doctrine reflects certain Epicurea which are indebted to the Renaissance and humanist discourse of Epicureanism. While Chapter Four analyses the concept of pleasure and pain within Hobbes's theory of action, Chapter Five considers how Hobbes embraced key concepts of Epicureanism such as a�bellicose state of nature and conventional justice as the basis of his political philosophy. Although this thesis cannot and does not attempt to rewrite the history of the genesis of Hobbesian philosophy, the analysis of Hobbes's Epicurea enables us to deepen our understanding of the genesis of his philosophical system and highlights Hobbes' s position as an eminent exponent of the Epicurean tradition in the seventeenth century.

Abstract:

Research on prosodic structure, the underlying structure organising the prosodic grouping of spoken utterances, has shown that it consists of hierarchically organised prosodic constituents. The present thesis explores the nature of this constituency, in particular the question of whether prosodic structure is comprised of a given set of qualitatively distinct domains, or of a set of domains of the same type varying only gradiently in "strength", or a possible mixture of both types of relations across prosodic levels. This question is addressed by testing how prosodic constituency (mirrored on boundary strength manipulations) is signalled acoustically via pre- and post-boundary durations, intonation contours, and two sandhi processes, namely vowel hiatus resolution and post-nasal stop voicing in Modern Greek. Results show that the phonetic signalling of boundary strength provides support for a mixture of both differences of type and strength across prosodic levels, with some levels only differing in terms of their strength. Pre-boundary durations and resolution of vowel hiatus are gradiently affected by boundary strength with shorter to longer durations from lower to higher domains, and less instances of vowel deletion higher in the hierarchy. Post-nasal stop voicing is qualitatively affected by boundary strength with almost all voicing instances occurring in the lowest constituent of the structure in the way a qualitative view of prosodic constituency would predict, and in line with research on prosodic phonology. Finally, both the alignment and scaling of intonation contours at the edges of domains is found to distinguish qualitatively the lowest domain from the higher ones. All higher phrasal domains align with respect to the boundary and their peak scaling varies consistently gradiently across speakers. When combining those two findings, support is provided for the existence of differences of strength and type within the same process. Taken together the results from these four phenomena support the postulation of an underlying prosodic structure with a limited number of qualitatively distinct domains, within which at the same time some type of recursivity or structured variability must be allowed for. It is shown that there are structural properties of speech, like the length of the utterance, influencing the organisation of utterances in a principled gradient manner, supporting the existence of differences of strength within domain types. These findings bear significance for theories of prosodic structure that have assumed either the view of solely qualitative differences, or sole boundary strength differences, as well as for future proposals on prosodic constituency. Finally, the use of Modern Greek in this thesis adds to the existing literature on a language that has been extensively used by researchers working in views supporting the existence of qualitative distinctions of type across prosodic domains, and provides the first in depth experimental analysis of post-nasal stop voicing.

Abstract:

This thesis in Classical Performance Reception Studies asks how some fragmentary ancient Athenian dramas—a satyr play (Sophocles’ Trackers), and several tragedies (the lost plays of Aeschylus’ trilogy about the Danaids, Sophocles’ Tereus, and Euripides’ Hypsipyle and Alcmaeon in Corinth) have informed some experimental theatre productions since the late 1980s. Between the introductory and concluding chapters, the four central chapters of the thesis analyse, in chronological order of their production, the following new dramatic works incorporating or otherwise responding to the ancient fragments: Tony Harrison’s The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus, which premiered at Delphi in 1988 but was revived in 1990 at the National Theatre; Timberlake Wertenbaker’s The Love of the Nightingale, first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1989 and, Joanna Laurens’ The Three Birds (Gate Theatre, 2000); Silviu Purcărete’s Les Danaïdes (Avignon, 1996) and, Charles Mee’s Big Love (Actor's Theatre of Louisville, 2000); Tasos Roussos’ Hypsipyle (1997) and, David Wiles’ Hy]ψ[ipyle: A Fragment (Royal Holloway University of London 1997); and Colin Teevan’s Alcmaeon in Corinth/Cock o’ the North (Live Theatre, Newcastle, 2004). The context, content and production styles of each new production are discussed in tandem with the remains of the ancient play available to the modern playwright—papyrus fragments, book quotations, ancient hypotheses, scholarly editions and translations into modern languages of these, vase-paintings, the ancient reception of the classical Greek plays in later literature, other ancient literary sources such as ancient comedy, epic poetry and mythographers’ works, and secondary scholarship on and philological reconstructions of the ancient texts. But in addition to this empirical exercise in the analysis of the process of making new theatre practice from ancient theatrical tatters, I ask why fragmentary plays have proved so inspirational outside the academy over the last three and a half decades; the answers lie in the fragments’ susceptibility to being arranged and interpreted in ways that speak to very modern concerns with the shape of the family, patriarchy, anti- and postcolonial theory, migration and immigration, displacement, diaspora, social class, violence and war.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with architecture as a creative process which is distinct with respect to the physical appearance of its end products and the manual operation exclusively proper to the architect, yet it can be contextualised within the wider circle of human making with respect to the mental image to which all artists work - when their interest focuses on an inner world of reality - and to the noetic and imaginative operations proper to all makers. First, it embarks on a theoretical inquiry into the nature of architecture as a creative activity or process whereby man is brought into dwelling commensurate with human nature. The purpose of this inquiry is to illuminate the meaning of architecture and the formal principle that finds expression in its products, the kinship between architecture and poetry, and the pivotal role and function of language in the significant act of architectural creation. This theoretical inquiry establishes the perspective within which the architectural making process is examined in the modern Greek socio-cultural context, the distinct historical milieu of Greece after Independence. Viewing architecture as a human poetic projection, as a realisation of the unity of being with word, vision with language, this examination aims at delineating this long poetic journey that through stages of loss and recollection brought about the embodiment of the inner reality of the Greek world in architectural form, made by the hand of Dimitris Pikionis. The stages of this process are traced and paralleled to those of modern Greek poetry, a contemporaneous art process directed towards making intelligible the same reality, and one with a privileged position in the cultural life of modern Greece. Subsequently, the thesis focuses on the making process as a personal creative experience. An account of Pikionis' personal poetic journey is followed by a close reading of his most accomplished work on the Attic hills. This work is viewed as the built product of his self-knowing and world-knowing process, the embodiment of his vision of "the mythical reality of the world", the same vision of the eternal and sacred aspect of visible things that The Axion Esti of Pikionis' contemporary poet, Odysseus Elytis, seeks to evoke. A comparison is ventured between Pikionis' architectural work and The Axion Esti of Elytis, two art-acts which are not simply contemporaneous but also in the same spirit of loyalty - loyalty without servility - to the values and principles of the cultural order in which the two individual creators found themselves embedded and which, for them, conforms to the order of the natural world which they inhabit. Finally, the suggestion is put forward that the architectural act, and the art-act in general, the begetting of a significant form which 'speaks' about and of the created world-order, is essentially a 'world-redeeming' act, an act directed towards a recreation of the world as it was in the beginning.

Abstract:

In this study, we have explored the prefaces of monolingual English, monolingual French, and bilingual French-English dictionaries of the 17 th century. The monolingual works studied constitute the first of this kind to have been published. Over the course of this research, we have demonstrated that despite different lexicographic traditions, dictionary prefaces convey basically the same type of information, and address the same general issues. This study is divided into two main sections. In the first, we have provided historical information on the dictionaries, so as to illustrate the historical context in which they were published. In the second section, we have examined the prefaces themselves, first giving an overview of each text studied, and then providing a thematic analysis of the prefaces within each group as a whole, observing topics that are commonly treated among them, within the broader categories of dictionary content, lexicographic context, and linguistic context. Over the course of the research, we have established that though each text is unique, certain features are shared not only among the prefaces within one same category, but in fact across all three types of dictionary.

Abstract:

The subject of this study is Modern Greek (MG) personal storytelling, an unexplored yet vital mode of communication in Greeks' everyday socialisation. The investigation aimed to explore its text-constitutive mechanisms and elucidate their context-sensitivity along two axes; culture-dependence and the audience variable as shaped by the distinction storytelling to adults (SA) versus storytelling to children (SC). The data that formed the basis of this research are tape-recorded oral personal MG stories addressed to adults and children, which make up the following two corpora: i. The basic corpus comprising 40 prompted storeis and ii. The free corpus comprising 170 naturally occurring intraconversational stories. These were supplemented by a written corpus of 120 stories and an oral corpus of 80 children's stories. The above data were analysed on the basis of a tri-level functional model of narrative discourse, that of binding, unfolding (Coste 1989, Bamberg & Marchman 1991) and evaluating (Labov 1972). This was critically abstracted from discourse-analytic studies of storytelling as an analytic tool to unlock the stories' local organisation or linear ordering along a horizontal axis (binding), their global organisation or hierarchical ordering along a vertical axis (unfolding) and their expressive or affective component (evaluating). The two specific segmentation methods which were applied to the data for operationalising the binding-unfolding-evaluating scheme were stanza analysis (Gee 1985, 1989a.b) and highpoint analysis (Peterson & McCabe 1983 and Fleischman 1990). The data analysis first of all brought to the fore a pervasive tripartite patterning as a culturally-determined mechanism of binding and unfolding.
