The paper studies the use of participle constructions in Polish and Swedish narratives. The data consist of narratives elicited by means of a picture book 'Frog, where are you?' by M. Meyer. Twenty eight speakers (14 in each language group) were recorded while telling the story. The analysis concentrated on the function of participle constructions in a narrative. The data show that the speakers in both languages use this non-finite verb form first of all in order to present the background information, which can co-relate with the use of subordinate clauses in a narrative discourse. The analysis furthermore shows that participles in passive constructions can focus the figure in the story. The structural differences between Polish and Swedish can also influence the use of participle constructions in the discourse.

The question to be answered was how children present moral issues in narratives and what solutions they suggest in narrative texts directed to different addressees. Sixty boys and sixty girls aged 6;1 - 6;11 participated in the study. Each child was presented with an adapted version of Aesop's fable 'The Porcupine and the Moles'. The children were informed that the fable lacked a proper ending and were asked to complete it. In addition, they were asked to evaluate the actions of the heroes. In the course of the experiment, the children were asked to perform a radio broadcast to target audiences described respectively as 'small children', 'peers' and 'adults'. A total of 118 narratives were recorded, and were analyzed in reference to presentation of relationships between heroes and the suggested solutions of moral problems. The research showed a significant dependency between discourse participant structure and the voice of narration, defined here as manifestation of 'ethics of care' and/or 'ethics of equality'. Focusing on the communicative competence of the discourse participants has allowed for a broader approach to Gilligan's theory which has revealed the relation between the moral orientation activated in a narrative discourse and the given addressee of the story.

The paper deals with several aspects of creation and construction of identities in their discursive and historical versions. It looks over narrative tools, which allow ascending and descending symbolic projections, the basic correlation between stimulation and stored information, relations between self-identification and stereotype representation of the other and transposition of inside and outside literary projections. The analysis relates to two contemporary novels that question identification logic: 'Birds without Wings' by British novelist Luis de Bernieres and 'Middlesex' by American writer Jeffrey Eugenides that follow up formation of Turkish and Greek identity. The 20th century brought disintegration of empires, change in national stereotypes and emblems. We can examine this process in literary works in term of narrations or narrative voices. The both novels follow the process from the inside and 'innocent' perspective of victims, who left written and verbal records.
