概要 This paper proposes a systemic approach to describing the representation of time and space in oral narratives, outlining four categories that would constitute the first level of analysis. It focuses specifically on exploring anecdotes that occurred in research interviews with English language teachers in Japan who recounted their professional experiences. Whereas previous approaches to describing oral narrative within SFL (Eggins and Slade, 1997; Plum, 1988) have tended to follow Labov and Waletzky (1967) in treating time and space as separate background elements, this paper draws on Bakhtin’s (1981) notion of a ‘Chronotope’ to argue that time and space are central and interrelated elements, at least in the kind of narratives considered here. Narratives are classified into four levels of ‘focus’ on a spatio-temporal moment. At one end of the spectrum are narratives which focus tightly on a specific narrative moment associated with a particular memory; at the other, those which spread more loosely across time and space as the narrator gives shape to experiences in the context of a personal life history.
