BETANCOURT CORDOBA, Yamileth María  and  CARO CERVANTES, Melisa. HOW DO CHILDREN REPORT THEIR OWN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S VOICES IN THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE STORIES? AN APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN'S COMMUNICATIVE-NARRATIVE COMPETENCE. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.84-108.  Epub Nov 10, 2021.

The own and others’ voices in personal narratives of children in public schools in Barranquilla were studied. First, the type of discourse reported and its insertion into the narrative structure were identified. The analysis was then carried out, based on the development of children’s communicative competence, the narrative structure of personal experience and the functions of the reported discourse. The results indicate that the reported discourse facilitates the credibility of the story, projects the narrator’s perspective and enlivens the narrated events. The use of this resource increases with age, as well as its insertion into the narrative framework.

Keywords : communicative-narrative competence; reported speech; personal and other’s voices; narrative structure; children’s narrative.
