Summary/Abstract: Identifying two vital aspects of narratology – poetics and rhetoric – the article then proceeds to highlight their nature and interpretive consequences some of which are embodied in the post-structuralist desire to reach beyond the internally structured text and reach the level of communicative intersubjectivity. Any narrative discourse is characterised by the combination of the referential event and the communicative event, which are both determined by three basic factors: the actant, the world-view and the point-of-view. Such a perspective, as the article suggests, opens up a series of new interpretive possibilities as they redefine the traditional and historical approach to literary studies.
