According to mental space theory, a speaker’s perspective changes as space or time of the context moves, which is revealed on virtual cognitive dimension: mental space. In case of narrative discourse giving an account of a sequence of events, this is revealed as movement of viewpoint and focus. It is found out that narratives of proficient narrators show more variety of viewpoints, tense use and discourse structure, analysing information processing in Korean learners’ travel essays based on two vital relations of mental spaces (Facaunnier and Turner 2002): time and identification. This tendency is most significant in Korean native speakers’ narratives. My study tries to explain this on the basis of decompression and self-split in Dancygier (2005) relating proficiency of language to capability of separating the self of narrator into a then-tourist and a now-narrator in the context of recalling past events.
