Abstract
The article deals with the problem of narrative strategies reflected in the works of domestic and foreign researchers, who indicate their diversity and specificity, and also emphasize the presence of a dialogue between the narrator and the listener (reader). The sequence of episodes is key to the narrator’s point of view, which is the core of the utterance, narrative being treated as a judgment framed as a kind of utterance based on the organization of the communicative component. The article explores the term “narrative strategies” in modern Philology, clarifies its terminological foundations, considers the narrative modality, plot intrigue and narrative picture of the world. Narrative strategies, based on the analysis of the utterance process itself, which is based not only on the event itself as such, but also on the event of the story itself, contribute to understanding the logical chain of the narrative and the text structure itself. In the process of analyzing the problem situation, the narrative of the main characters from the humorous novel of the German writer Dora Heldt “Vacation with Dad” is considered. It is done applying the structures proposed by Labov and Waletzky, namely: theses, orientation, resolution, coda. The organization of the utterance has a certain form that predetermines the sequence of the narrative: the order of conclusions, the sequence of implications and reasoning, the order of description, which is characterized by the derivation of generalizing schemes that determine the order of the story; indicates various types of utterance dependencies.
