Abstract

Although Bakhtin did not use special narratological terms, he was interested in narratological issues. The significance of Bakhtin’s thought is especially felt in three fields of narratology: the correlation between the author and narrator figure (according to Bakhtin between the “primary” and “secondary” authors); the problem of eventfulness; and, finally, the metalinguistic view on the nature of narrative expression. This paper explores the correspondences between the three domains of narratology and Bakhtin’s phenomenology of speech genres and authorship.
