In the first two volumes of this work, Paul Ricoeur examined the relations between time and narrative in historical writing, fiction, and theories of literature. This final volume, a comprehensive reexamination and synthesis of the ideas developed in volumes 1 and 2, stands as Ricoeur's most complete and satisfying presentation of his own philosophy.

Time and Narrative

Although the role played by narratives and particularly by narratives of personal experience in the construction of identity has been widely investigated, the presence and contribution of such narr...

The Discursive Construction of Professional Self Through Narratives of Personal Experience

It has been 5 years since the last review on child language appeared in this series (120). During that period, the field witnessed such rapid growth that it became increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the many new areas of research. Recognition of this led, among other things, to establishing a journal for developmental psycholinguistics (Journal of Child Language). When Roeper and McNeill composed the last review, they concentrated on the study of semantics in children'S speech. Attention to semantics in children's speech was symptomatic of the growing awareness that the breadth and depth of the child's knowledge of his native language encom­ passed considerably more than approaches relying on form would have suggested. Indeed nearly a decade has led us to increasing sensitivity to the broad range of competencies that children acquire as they become fluent speakers of a language. It is out of this awareness that the subject matter for the present chapter was selected. I believe that the current period in, child language study has been characterized by attempts to identify the wide range of factors that children seem to use in understanding and producing speech. The evidence suggests that these factors, often referred to as context, must be taken into account in the investigation of language acquisition. Yet

Context in Child Language

This study examines the role of metaphor in the organization and expression of narrative in the life story. Data are drawn from an open-ended life story interview with a young adult female. She makes use of the metaphor of being put on trial as a vehicle that directs individual story content and structure while realizing her dominant life story theme of victimization. She does this by manipulating character

“On trial”: Metaphor in telling the life story

This paper reports a study of the associations between social relations, language and cognition among people aged 85 or more years (hereafter the ‘ oldest old ’). Although the links between cognition and both social relations and language ability are well-established, less is known about the relationship between social relations and language skills, especially among the oldest old. With a sample of 20 adults aged 85–93 years living independently in two retirement communities (a seniors’ apartment complex and independent apartments in a continuum-of-care setting), we used the approach of the Rochester Interaction Record to assess the frequency, purpose and quality of their social interactions over one week. It was hypothesised that aspects of social relations, as well as the type of residential setting, would associate with both cognitive skills (measured using the Composite Cognistat) and language skills (measured using the Boston Naming Test). It was found that participants who had a low proportion of interactions with family members, or a high proportion with friends, as well as those with diverse relationships, performed better on the cognitive and language tasks. Furthermore, those from the setting with more programmed activities performed better on the language task. The conclusion critically examines the findings about the influence of family relationships and the importance of residential setting.

Social relations, language and cognition in the 'oldest old'

This article examines 15 quizzes in teenage girls' magazines: the American `Teen, Seventeen and Sassy, and the Brazilian Capricho, over the period 1994-5. It argues that the genre quiz, an apparently playful feature in these magazines, is not as harmless as it appears to be. In addition to encouraging girls towards self-scrutiny, quizzes work as `disciplinary instruments', aiming at the heterosexist socialization of teenage girls. Analysis of the macro-structure of the quizzes reveals a problem-solution structure is used to accomplish this. The producers of these texts judge, evaluate, and classify girls as either `good' or `bad', and tend to prescribe and proscribe types of behavior from a heterosexist perspective. The high informality and ludic appearance of quizzes, therefore, disguise what seems to be an important agenda: to discipline girls to be `good'.
