项目摘要

In contemporary France, the activity of 'new' storytelling (or néo contage) is flourishing. Unlike traditional storytelling, which is an increasingly rare activity involving small numbers of individuals who are part of an oral tradition which is generally firmly rooted in a local community, new storytellers are contemporary speakers who have, for the most part, learnt the art of storytelling and who recount for a wide variety of audiences. Their sources are normally written rather than oral, and the stories are worked and re-worked by the storyteller so as to produce an oral performance which is then delivered 'spontaneously' in front of the audience. The néo-conteurs are trained in one of the three main centres for oral storytelling in France (Chevilly-Larue, Vendôme and Grenoble) and recount stories from every continent and age. From a linguistic point of view, these stories are fascinating. They represent a 'borderline' type of discourse, where written sources and literary training exert an important influence on linguistic features, but where, nonetheless, the final product is very much an oral performance. Much has already been published on oral narration, especially on informal conversational anecdotes and stories, and the case has been argued that the presence of performance features in such stories allows comparisons to be made with more formally performed varieties such as medieval 'narratives'. In a recently published monograph, I explore the question of tense and temporal structures in oral storytelling, both traditional and new, and have found the 'borderline' nature of the discourse to be crucial in the case of the latter. However, many other areas of the linguistic structure of new storytelling remain totally unexplored, such as aspects of word order and patterns of speech and thought presentation, where my initial observations suggest that extremely interesting features are found. Research which would inform a linguistic study of new storytelling requires authentic data, i.e. a corpus. This project proposes to create an annotated corpus of new storytelling in French. I have been given access to the recordings of stories held in the Centre de littérature orale in Vendôme and have made a selection for inclusion in the corpus which is designed to give a spread of types of story, with storytellers from different regions and both genders, performing in different performance contexts. After the transcription stage (being carried out by a research assistant), the purpose of this project is to annotate the corpus using a set of internationally agreed codes designed by the Text Encoding Initiative. In practice, this means that in addition to information about the storyteller, the context and the methodology which will be stored using the TEI codes, a selection of key linguistic structures will be coded in such a way as to be readily accessible to any researcher working on those structures. The choice of structures is based on those which have proved particularly interesting in previous research on oral French. Moreover, using the TEI codes, other scholars could expand the use of the corpus by encoding more structures of interest. The beauty of the TEI coding is that the corpus will be internationally searchable by other researchers. It will be deposited in the Oxford Text Archive. At the most basic level, any scholar of literature, language or anthropology could access the corpus and use the information held in the metadata. However, its greatest use will be for linguists working on oral narration or oral French in general, who will be able to interrogate the corpus using the TEI analysis codes. I plan to code and interrogate the corpus for a particular set of constructions on which I will base future publications about the linguistic structure of the néo-conte. The commissioned article for the Journal of FrenchLanguage Studies will discuss the problematic issues encountered in annotating the corpus.

在当代法国，“新”讲故事（或称nsamo contage）的活动正在蓬勃发展。传统讲故事是一种越来越罕见的活动，涉及少数人，他们是口头传统的一部分，通常牢固地扎根于当地社区，新的讲故事者是当代的演讲者，他们在很大程度上学习了讲故事的艺术，并为各种各样的观众讲述。他们的来源通常是书面的，而不是口头的，故事是由讲故事的人反复创作的，这样就产生了一种口头表演，然后“自发”地在观众面前呈现。在法国三个主要的口述故事中心之一（Chevilly-Larue、Vendôme和格勒诺布尔），n<s:1> -con - conurs接受培训，讲述来自各大洲和各个时代的故事。从语言学的角度来看，这些故事很吸引人。它们代表了一种“边缘”类型的话语，其中书面来源和文学训练对语言特征产生重要影响，但是，尽管如此，最终的产品在很大程度上是口头表演。关于口头叙述，尤其是非正式的对话轶事和故事，已经发表了很多文章。有人认为，这些故事中表演特征的存在，可以与更正式的表演形式（如中世纪的“叙事”）进行比较。在最近出版的专著中，我探讨了口头叙事的时态和时间结构问题，包括传统的和新的，并发现话语的“边缘”性质在后者的情况下至关重要。然而，新讲故事的语言结构的许多其他领域仍然完全没有被探索，比如词序、说话模式和思想表达的方面，我最初的观察表明，在这些方面发现了非常有趣的特征。新故事的语言学研究需要真实的数据，即语料库。本计划拟建立一个法文新故事的注释语料库。我有机会接触到Vendôme境内的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>)口头交流中心所保存的故事录音，并从中挑选了一些纳入语料库，该语料库的目的是提供不同类型的故事，由来自不同地区和男女的故事讲述者在不同的表演环境中表演。在转录阶段（由研究助理执行）之后，本项目的目的是使用一套由文本编码倡议组织设计的国际商定代码对语料库进行注释。在实践中，这意味着除了使用TEI代码存储关于故事讲述者、上下文和方法的信息外，还将以一种易于研究这些结构的研究人员访问的方式对选定的关键语言结构进行编码。结构的选择是基于那些在以前的法语口语研究中被证明特别有趣的结构。此外，使用TEI代码，其他学者可以通过编码更多感兴趣的结构来扩展语料库的使用。TEI编码的美妙之处在于，语料库将被其他研究人员在国际范围内搜索。它将被存放在牛津文本档案馆。在最基本的层面上，任何文学、语言或人类学的学者都可以访问语料库并使用元数据中保存的信息。然而，它最大的用途将是用于口头叙述或一般法语口语的语言学家，他们将能够使用TEI分析代码查询语料库。我计划对语料库进行编码和查询，以获得一组特定的结构，我将在此基础上发表关于nsamo -conte语言结构的未来出版物。这篇为《法语研究杂志》撰写的文章将讨论语料库注释中遇到的问题。
