Narrative acquisition: From oral discourse production to written text comprehension
https://doi.org/10.26907/2541-7738.2025.4.87-105
Abstract
This article explores the classical concepts of phenomena such as personal narrative, fictional narrative, and narrative discourse. An overview of the globally accepted typology of oral narrative genres was provided. The patterns used by children while mastering personal narrative skills were described. Longitudinal data on the age-related characteristics of narrative macro- and microstructure acquisition in preschool children were summarized. Methodological approaches to narrative elicitation and analysis were outlined. A new methodology for personal narrative elicitation and analysis in preschool children was introduced. Its primary advantage lies in the ecological validity and correspondence to the context of children’s natural communication with peers. Analytical approaches to personal and fictional narratives were considered. The study revealed a connection between children’s acquisition of narrative skills and text comprehension ability.
