Summary/Abstract: The five-level structure of a prose itemt combines reference, figurative, linguistic, textual and code levels. Reference one parcipate the general worldview and the concept of man, that is based on the natural sign systems. In the body of the text this level corresponds to the organization of the artistic space and the time and structure of the narrator. It appears as a basic, primary level of textual realization in the holistic work of literature. In such way the paradox of literary reading uses to be: the delineation of time and space in the literary text creates a new syncretic essence of the chronotop in the artistic text. After all, literary text could be described as one of the levels of artistic text and is identified as a concept, chronotope, archetype of time or as linear time. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to outline the peculiarities and peculiarities of each of the temporal realisations as the basic characteristics of the literary text in the theory of structuralism. The concept of time correlates with the anthropological understanding of time. After all, an artwork serves always as a model of a partial representation of the world, which runs to fullness forever. So the system is detected using the components of the artistic product, one of them is the concept of time. The chronotop of the literary work is much more subjective to schematization. Unlike the concept and archetype of time, it is part of the architectonics of the text. In fixed plot schemes it identifites by the type of chronotope and use to be determined by the following types of novel: the historical novel (the linear chronotope, mostly unfolding in the past), a fantastic novel (the cyclonic chronotope, mostly unfolding in the present and future), a detective novel (the inverse chronotope unfolding from the present to the past). The archetype of time like a concept that works beyond the boundaries of the national worldview and considered at the level of civilization that is on the background of the most general images and realizes an archetype of time. It could be compared with such archetypes as Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Good, Evil, Mother, Father, Force, Enemy, Home, archetype of Time is a little bit later. If to use it likely correlated with a certain functional sense of time, then temporal archetype corresponds to the philosophical perception of time.
