Abstract
This chapter describes the use of reference to speaker at a tellership transition position during storytelling in Korean. More specifically, the practice of initiating a telling with the first-person pronoun na or ce ‘I’ followed by the topic particle -nun, or nanun-prefacing, is described as a linguistic resource to mark the initiation of a telling that is similar to previous one in terms of topic, action, and format. Producing closely-related ‘parallel tellings,’ participants construct a larger sequence of topical talk or a series of stories collaboratively. By describing a discourse organizational function of speaker’s self-reference in storytelling, this study contributes to the research on both person reference and story-telling in Korean conversation.
