2 Three types of knowledge Linguistic knowledge Textual knowledge Narrative knowledge

3 Linguistic knowledge How to use the language within the sentence: –Morphology –Syntax –Semantics

4 Textual knowledge How to build the discourse? –Semantic relations between the different sentences (contrast, entailment, induction) –The relations of these sentences to the discourse topic. –Cohesion between the different sentences by referencing, ellipsis, conjunctures, repetitions, etc.

5 Narrative knowledge What makes the narrative a unique genre: –Description of an event –Temporality – sequencing events –Causality – one event caused the other –Narrative structure – Initiating event,, attempt to solve the problem, result – coda (the minimal story)

6 The Minimal Story The use of the minimal story by age (in percentage)

7 The Raven and the Fox

8 Four versions of the story ר: פעם אחת היה עורב שרצה לאכול את הדגים שעל שולחן אוכל קטן שהיה באמצע היער. ואז, אחרי שהוא סיים לאכול הוא עף אל העץ. ואז בא השועל ורצה לטרוף את העורב עם העצם של הדג. העורב רצה לפרוס כנפיים ופתאום נפל לו העצם. השועל חטף את העצם של העורב ואז העורב חטף לו אותה בחזרה ועף. י: עורב מצא דג על שולחן. הוא לקח אותו עם מקורו ועמד על העץ. הוא אכל את הדג עד שנשאר רק השלד. הגיע שועל והיה רעב ורצה לאכול את הציפור. ואז נפל לציפור שלד הדג והשועל לקח אותו על מנת שהעורב ינסה לקחת את השלד חזרה והוא יתפוס את העורב. העורב לקח את השלד מהשועל והשועל רדף אחרי העורב. ג: בחצר עמד שולחן ועליו דג. פתע פתאום, צלל לו עורב מן השמים ולקח את הדג והתיישב עמו על ענף. בא שועל רעב מאוד וניסה לקפוץ ולתפוס את העורב. פתאום נפל מפי העורב הדג. השועל תפס אותו וברח. מיד רדף אחריו העורב והצליח לתפוס את הדג ולברוח עימו. א: יום אחד טס לו עורב אחד בשמים וראה למטה שולחן ועליו מונח דג. צלל העורב אל הדג תפס אותו בפיו ועף איתו אל העץ. באותו זמן, עבר שועל למרגלות העץ. השועל היה רעב מאוד והחליט להשיג את הדג שבפי העורב. "עורב עורב" קרא השועל "ספר לי היכן מצאת דג כזה טעים". העורב שרצה לענות פתח את פיו והדג צנח לו הישר אל השועל שלמטה. השועל לא המתין רבות, טפס את הדג בפיו והחל לרוץ איתו. העורב המרוגז שהבין שהשועל שיטה בו צלל אל השועל הבורח ודקר אותו בחוזקה במקורו. השועל שהופתע מעוצמת הדקירה שמט את הדג והעורב תפס את הדג במקורו והתעופף לו לשמים.

13 Narrative Abilities in Children with SLI Wagner, C. R., Sahlén, B. and U. Nettelbladt What’s the story? Narration and comprehension in Swedish preschool children with language impairment. Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 15(2), pp

14 Research Questions (p. 117) 1) “Is it possible to investigate narratives and document narrative problems in Swedish 5 year olds with language impairment?” 2) “Is there a relationship between narrative comprehension, productivity (amount of words) and narrative organization in this group of children?”

15 Method Subjects – 28 children (4;11-5;9) with expressive problems Materials –Story retelling (a fable) –Story generation (with pictures)

16 Analysis (p.120) Narrative level analysis: heaps, sequences, primitive narrative, unfocused chains, focused chains or narrative. (Appelbee, 1978). Story grammar units: setting, initiating event, response state, response plan, attempt, consequence and resolution/reaction. (Stein and Glenn, 1979). Extended analysis of content (‘relevance’). Comprehension of content questions Total number of words

17 Results

18 (24%) (74%) (27%) (81%)

19 LI-NL (from Nilsson & Vikerson 1998) comparison Story GrammarTN of words LINLLINL Retelling Generation

20 Relationship between story grammar production, comprehension and total number of words (p.124) Retelling: a correlation between story grammar scores and the scores on total number of content questions (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) Generating (frog stories): –no correlation between story grammar scores and scores on content questions (p > 0.05). –a correlation between story grammar scores and number of words (p < 0.001)

21 Conclusion (p ) narrative skills are not age appropriate good content comprehension is a prerequisite for good retelling tapping implicit information were more difficult than tapping explicit information Number of words does not reflect the quality of the narration Narration is extremely effortful and demands support from the examiner
