3. Título: Story genres: interpreting experience in academic and non-academic discourse
Lectores: J.R. Martin y Sue Hood
The term narrative is widely deployed in discourse studies, and used in many different ways across disciplines. In this mini-course we’ll review a range of story genres from the perspective of SFL genre theory, focussing in particular on the interplay of ideational and interpersonal meaning as the texts unfold.
We begin in the morning by reviewing SFL work on the discourse semantics of spoken stories in domestic and workplace settings, and written stories in school: recount, commissioned recount, anecdote, exemplum, observation, narrative, gossip, news story, thematic narrative. Key issues to be addressed include: how to analyse a genre, genre and macro-genre, stage and phase.
In the afternoon session we turn to the field of academic research and consider some of the many ways that academic writers put story genres to work and the range of story genres they employ in persuading us of the validity or legitimacy of their research.
