NOTES
1 For more on this mode of delivery, see D. Tedlock ( 1983: chap. 6).
2 Dramatic moments such as this one disappear in the recasting of this
story by Hymes ( 1980). In his search for verse structures in the version of
the text and translation I published in the original edition of the present
book, he reorganized the lines on the basis of the words and phrases
alone, as if he were dealing with a conventional prose text. The result has
the visual appearance of lyric verse arranged in stanzas, but it has little to
do with the way a narrative performance unfolds in time. For a further
discussion see D. Tedlock ( 1983: 56 - 61 ).
3 For a detailed study dealing with the variable interaction between pause
phrasing and syntactic phrasing in oral narrative, see Woodbury ( 1987),
whose example is a Yup'ik Eskimo tale.
4 Bakhtin, in setting up the multivocal novel as an advance over the uni-
vocal epic, ignores the folktale; see the essays on "Epic and the Novel"
and "Discourse in the Novel" in Bakhtin ( 1981). Narratives of personal
history can also be spoken with a rich multivocality, as in the case of a
Nahuatl performance analyzed by Hill ( 1995).
5 For a general exposition of the poetics of verisimilitude in Zuni stories,
see D. Tedlock ( 1983: chap. 5).
6 An outline of this version is given in Stevenson ( 1904: 72 - 89 ).
7 For this version see Bunzel ( 1932a: 549-604).
8 A survey of published versions is given in Benedict ( 1935: I, 255 -61); see
also The Zuni People ( 1972: 129 -37).
9 This aligns Andrew's version more closely with the fourfold creations
and destructions of Mesoamerican traditions.
