Annotation
This paper applies the kind of story grammar developed by scholars such as Mendler and Johnson (1977) and Stein and Glenn (1979) to the 'Rosa Mistika' novel of the Kiswahili prose fiction writer E. Kezilahabi, in order to specify the constituent structure and the relations between constituents.
