Previous research on reported speech in traditional storytelling (Larson 1978; Noonan 2006; Verstraete 2011) has proposed various typologies of its rhetorical functions, but these studies focus on individual languages.

This raises the question of whether such typologies can be generalized cross-linguistically and whether a core set of recurrent rhetorical functions exists across narrative traditions. In this talk, I address this question through a comparative analysis of reported speech constructions in two Siberian Uralic languages, Nganasan and Selkup, and identify cross-linguistic patterns in their rhetorical use in traditional storytelling.

This talk will be presented and is open to all who are interested.
