<p class="p1">I propose a simple, two-stage storytelling process used for investigating multiple tense</p> <p class="p1">contrasts in reported speech and illustrate a basic example of its use from a pilot study in</p> <p class="p1">isiNdebele. IsiNdebele is a Nguni Bantu language of South Africa with two degrees of past tense</p> <p class="p1">marking and three future forms that are less clearly differentiated for temporal distance. The</p> <p class="p1">method involves translating a conversation with references to several past and future events and</p> <p class="p1">then role-playing a courtroom testimony in which the conversation is reported. I also describe a</p> <p class="p1">simple complementary picture-card–based method.</p>
