I know I can write bash scripts like:
foo() {
echo $1;
}
but can I define a function that writes:
foo(string) {
echo $string;
}
I just can't find my way out of this.

The only available form is the first one; see the manual for details.
To use named parameters, the traditional technique is to assign them at the start of your function:
foo() {
string=$1
# ...
echo "${string}"
}
