Zum Sprachstil des Märchenerzählens von Erwachsenen und Kindern

Abstract

This empirical study is a successful attempt at describing exhaustively verbal and quasiverbal behaviour i.e. to formulate the characteristic features of the style in a definite communication situation - telling stories.

The features of narration are mutual for a wide range of authentic and literary texts, both monologues and dialogues, whereas in story-telling we deal with the features typical of the communication with a child. Analyzing the texts the authors applied elements of the conversational analysis, along with a detailed phonetical description.
