Narrative Conventions

The purpose of this study was to analyze the language of eight 4-year-old children from two day care centers as they described a picture and told a story from pictures in a wordless picture book. The children's oral language was analyzed for vocabulary, syntax, completeness, and accuracy. Their stories were assessed for Applebee's narrative conventions and structure. Comprehension of the picture and the book was assessed by questions. The children's descriptions and stories, although short, contained a variety of vocabulary words and an above average number of words per T-unit for their age. However, their stories did not contain any narrative conventions nor did the children demonstrate that they had achieved a sense of the story. The children's descriptions were only partially accurate, and they demonstrated limited comprehension of the picture and story. These results are discussed in relation to the day care and pre-school language curriculum and environment. Implications are drawn for the children's prereading development and their readiness for beginning reading instruction.

Security and justice are both essential elements in humanity’s quest not only to survive but to thrive with dignity; neither is sustainable alone. Security is merely the appearance of order in a framework of structural violence unless tempered or leavened by concepts of justice that include human rights, human dignity, and other normative limits on the use of power. The pursuit of justice, whether at the personal, community, national, or international level can be crippled if not matched, in turn, by means to sustain security at each level. This complementarity of security and justice—despite their inherent tensions—is the core conceptual framework of the book. Achieving “just security,” we argue, is essential to the success of any global governance enterprise or architecture.
