@Menander No more powerful linguistic tool than the internet. Of course it requires an expert to use it well and find the information you require in the odd five billion pages plus you are searching in.
James (Jim) Davis Mar 11, 2013:
Err You Sorry Barbara. but racconto telling a story to narrate is just so obvious and social narrative is not limited to autism at all. Just put a few negative filters in your Google and Bob's your uncle.

Where, oh where had I read that one before? I've noticed you ended up using 'social narratives'...

I thought.... documentary of some sort, or social narrative broadcast of some kind. In any case it wouldnt be on paper. Bizarre. BTW There is no exclusive semantic link in the meaning of the phrase to autism. The internet, I would guess is 50% rubbish and Google translation "leaps".

It is one of the options offered by EB (see below). I also considered social narratives as a more generic term, but this appears to be used only in autism-related contexts...

neutral James (Jim) Davis : Novels are made of paper Barbara and written by Jane Austen. Fiction is found in theatre, film and literature, but a novel is literature only a book.

Hello there, Jim! Social fiction does not seem to exist as a genre. Social stories relate to autism, and I have no idea if there is a specific term relating to music. Looking forward to reading more on this... Cheers
agree P.L.F. Persio : e che vi sembra di "politically engaged/socially engaged novel"?
