- catalog abstract ""This volume considers data from some forty African languages on the East and West sides of the continent in an effort to answer the question, 'How do languages of different word order typologies tell a story?' The evidence suggests that the ordering of constituents on the clause level, i.e. subject, verb, and object/complement, often determines differences in the mechanics of story telling. Furthermore, in some (perhaps all) languages, storyline clauses are the most typical and diagnostic of the word order typology itself, perhaps because the story (anecdote) is the most basic form of monologue discourse."--Page [1].".
