Abstract

Andrea Smorti's Telling to Understand provides an opportunity to mentalise linguistic productions in the light of narrative understanding and the relationality underlying the nature of communication processes. In the post-modern polyglot society, narrative understanding abreacts meanings emerging from the coexistence and interaction of different linguistic universes. In the elicitation of meanings, the different forms of narration become tales that consecutively become stories if inserted into a chronologically ordered system. Such stories are maintained by causal links that guarantee continuity and coherence to the narrative production.
