THEMATIC STRUCTURE OF NARRATIVE: COGNITIVE DIMENSION
Keywords:
narrative structure, theme, thematic model, cognitive, actant, situational modelAbstract
The article centres on the analysis of thematic narrative structure, which is conceptualized as a mental model, a schema or a structure, construing by the addressee within the cognitive process of text comprehension. The act of narration is identified as the activity based on the conceptualization of the hierarchical structure of the story narrated. Special attention is given to the analysis of the existing thematic models which are focused on the theme as a generic cognitive structure, activated by the actions in fictional world. Modern narrative theories take into account the definite thematic dominants forming its general thematic structure and influencing the dynamics of the narrative events and the possible character of final resolution. The research of the content aspects of the narrative structure should by accompanied by the analysis of its formal aspects, facilitating the constructing of the universal narrative model. The structural principles of such a model ought to correlate with general criteria of narrativity as well as generic constraints of the narrative. Besides, while model constructing the reader`s factor should also be involved as the narrative configuration is actually defined by the reader`s strategies of processing and text comprehension.
