In: American anthropologist: AA, Band 75, Heft 1, S. 243-264
ISSN: 1548-1433
In this paper, the rhetorical theory of Kenneth Burke and the sociolinguistic method of William Labov, are synthesized to derive a formal and functional analytical framework for the study of narrative. The resulting framework provides for the identification of narrative style and performance in any sub‐genre of narrative.
