Abstract

There is the very real possibility that narrative-based language intervention may not only improve narrative-specific outcomes such as narrative retelling and personal story generation, but also expository language, which has traditionally been perceived as a dissimilar, distal outcome. In this paper we discuss the relationship between narrative language and expository language, propose that apprehending the elements that are essential to good narration is not only helpful for the production and comprehension of expository language, but is in a sense, even required. We also discuss how narrative intervention, when properly shaped, can logically lead to growth in expository language.
