Analysis of narrative production in children from the proposals of Karmiloff, Karmiloff and Owens

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight children's oral narrative process. The analysis of the narratives was made from the theories of Kira Karmiloff, Annette Karmiloff and Robert Owens. Oral productions with short sentences and restricted use of text connectors were found. It is concluded that the oral narration of the children presents difficulties in the construction of their stories with respect to cohesion. In addition, some productions do not have the spatial-temporal structure or the description of the characters is short. For these reasons, it should be noted that the teaching of Spanish is relevant to improve narrative productions by emphasizing grammatical and syntactic aspects, so that the narrations are more coherent and cohesive.
