Abstract

In this study, Greimas’s work on narrative structure is used to improve a specific practice: the research interview. In the social sciences, narrative interviewing often consists of collecting data from which a narrative is then constructed through analysis afterwards. In the interview method presented here, the interviewer instead prompts the interviewee to construct a narrative. We introduce the method, contextualize it by comparing it to previous and contemporary interview methods, and illustrate it with a small, sociolinguistic study: students (n = 12) from a humanities faculty and a science and engineering faculty at a Dutch university were interviewed about experiences with the use of different languages than the language of instruction in an international learning environment. The method allowed for smooth data collection, due to its narratively structured questioning and consequent rich data. Moreover, using narrative structures to guide the interview also facilitated easy analysis and comparison of the stories.

结构化叙述性访谈
在本研究中,我们利用Greimas关于叙事结构的著作来改进一个具体的实践:研究访谈。在社会科学中,叙述性访谈通常包括收集数据,然后通过分析构建叙事。在这里介绍的访谈方法中,采访者反而提示受访者构建一个叙述。我们介绍了该方法,通过将其与以前和当代的访谈方法进行比较,将其置于背景中,并通过一项小型社会语言学研究来说明它:来自荷兰一所大学人文学院和科学与工程学院的学生(n = 12)接受了关于在国际学习环境中使用不同语言而不是教学语言的经验的访谈。该方法允许平滑的数据收集,由于其叙事结构的问题和随之而来的丰富的数据。此外,使用叙事结构来指导采访也便于对故事进行分析和比较。

期刊介绍: Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
