Abstract
Speakers may use reported speech in a wide variety of ways, including in pursuit of dramatised or entertaining narratives. Drawing on data from the performative narrative context of a televised 'personal revelation' talk show, this article reveals a number of features of 'performed retellings' of narrative events, including their sequential placement, their differing prosodic characteristics, and the use of facial expression and other bodily behaviours during enunciation. In the context of the television talk show, it is proposed that these phenomena act as a vehicle for the management of a public self in the production of a delicate narrative.
