Overview"Drawing largely on Propp's pioneering work and Greimas' revision of the same, this book aims to consolidate their view of the narrative and to extend it through a series of applications. The volume offers an examination of narrative structure in terms of its two basic syntactic units or sets of operations, namely the eventual or dynamic configurations corresponding to communication or to contract or, more general, to the structure of exchange. Because of the emphasis it places on the logical frame and built-in necessity that underlie the syntagmatic dimension of the story, the book contributes to an integrated descriptive model deliberately centred on ""narrative semiotics as a branch of descriptive poetics"". The discussion of value in its social and legal context brings to light the links between the theory of narrative and its anthropological sources. This book shows that a strict concern with story-logic requires a re-evaluation of the basic premises of semiotic theory and raises important epistemologicl questions about its evolution."
