WHAT DOES NARRATOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Narratology

Narratology refers to both the theory and the study of narrative and narrative structure and the ways that these affect our perception. While in principle the word may refer to any systematic study of narrative, in practice its usage is rather more restricted. It is an anglicisation of French narratologie, coined by Tzvetan Todorov. Narratology is applied retrospectively as well to work predating its coinage. Its theoretical lineage is traceable to Aristotle but modern narratology is agreed to have begun with the Russian Formalists, particularly Vladimir Propp.
