NARRATIVE MODELS IN CRITICAL STUDIES

Abstract

The subject of the article refers to the different narrative models characterizing the structure of the text narrated. The aim of the research is to systematize the existing ideas about formal aspects of the narrative, which is conceptualized as a sequence of the narrative events. The tasks of the given article envisage the analysis of the notion of the narrative structure, the description of its fundamental models as well as the outline of further prospects in this field. This research centers on the determination of the main theoretical positions concerning with narrative constructing. There exist a lot of theories and models, among which the most famous and adaptable to different scientific contexts is the model, worked out by William Labov and Joshua Waletzky. This model comprises six narrative phases: Abstract, Orientation, Complicating Action, Evaluation, Resolution and Coda. The cognitive approach used in this research facilitates the re-estimation of Labov & Waletzky’ achievements contributing to the development of cognitive narratology. Consequently, the narrative structure is thought as a textual schema of the intermediate level, functioning between the level of sentences and paragraphs, united into clauses, and the level of macro-textual organization, that is a textual plan. The research of the formal aspects of the narrative should be accompanied by the description of its content aspects that would be resulted in constructing of universal narrative model.
