Abstract
Numerous studies have shown how autobiographical narratives can illustrate the functions and structures of traumatic memory through language However, comparative research between linguistics and literature, between oral and written accounts, has often been neglected, especially when it comes to the role of sensory perception in the process of memory emergence The present study focuses on the examination of ’emerging memory‘ in both oral history interviews and literary narratives as testified by traumatised war and holocaust survivors It focuses primarily on communicative strategies and linguistic structures, which can be found in both corpora By applying the linguistic concept of evidentiality, it will be shown how visual and auditive stimuli condition, regulate and facilitate the process of verbalization in both oral and written narratives
