КОНСТИТУЕНТИ НАРАТИВНОЇ СТРУКТУРИ ФРАНЦУЗЬКОГО ХУДОЖНЬОГО ТЕКСТУ З ПОЗИЦІЙ НАРАТОЛОГІЇ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the constituents of the narrative structure of French literary text from the standpoint of narratology. In our study of the peculiarities of the narrative structure of the literary text of the New Novel period, we rely on theoretical positions related to the central categories of the theory of narrative. The main attention is paid to the cognitive and communicative mechanisms of the construction of the literary narrative through such narrative constructs as the narrator, the story and its varieties, focalization. The narrator is one of the main components of the narrative structure of a literary text, as it appears as a structural and organizing element that determines the plot-compositional text structure of a literary work. The story is considered a functional category of the narrative structure of the literary text, since it realizes the function of a narrative image, the carrier of which can be equally the narrator and the character in the literary text. Focalization determines all forms of narrative presence, including the narrator, it limits the choice of narrative information in terms of what is called "authorial omniscience." The subject of focalization as the holder of the focus of vision can be the narrator or a character from whose point of view events and/or actions are presented verbally.
