thank you for the information who has experiences. I have to admit, that the consultant told me after reading my first posting to the group, that I had not really understood his doubts. He had simply meant that it would be impossible to aply the OST "standard format", not that he did not believe that an adaptation to the specific conditions of mental/f2f-communicative cultures. So I am sorry that I presented his position wrong in the group.
I confess that I have been on the boat (in The Office) and have not followed this whole strand -- so it may be that I am (as usual) a day late and a dollar short. But, if the question is the applicability of OS in Non-literate situations (is that what an Oral Culture is?) -- it is probably worth while noticing that this is where it all began. Every time I have the pleasure of working with such a group I feel very much that I am carrying coals to New Castle. It is already there in spades. As for reports, The Talking Drum does fine as does the Village Story Teller. I guess it is we who are making the modifications.
