| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research project is to investigate from the cognitive linguistic perspective how people construct realities in narrative by telling stories. When we tell stories to others in everyday life, we seek coherency between narratives and the world created by them. In this study we called this habit of mind “narrative reality” and examined its major aspects focusing on the following three points: (1) narrative markers help organize the structure of stories, providing them the coherency; (2) a single story can be co-constructed dynamically by more than one speaker; (3) a story accepts changes as it is retold repeatedly while retaining its identity. Then, we made a multilateral analysis of the latent structure of narratives that cross-links narrative’s expandability and repeatability and the potential of co-construction by multiple speakers.
