El Desarrollo de la habilidad para manejar tiempos verbales en la narración
Keywords:
child discourse. narrative. verbs. language development. speech.Abstract
The objective of this article is to study the way in which school-aged children use verb tenses in their narratives. Therefore it is based on an analysis of the verb tenses of the indicative (modo indicativo) in 208 oral narratives. The texts were obtained during two tasks (formal and informal) with 24 children (ages 6, 9 and 12) belonging to two different schools. The results show a growing ability to provide the listener with clues about the differences between the events that are part of the narrative (‘then’) and those that are part of the conversation (‘now’). Additionally, they indicate a development in the capability to consider the listener’s expectations and to use narrative structures for the organization of the narrative text.
