Abstract

Theory of Narrative semiotics of Paris school has a prominent place in Narrative studies. It refers to "meaning" and the manifestation of meaning, closely related to Greimas’; Narrative approach. Reproductive pattern of meaning is the most important concept of Greimas’; theory of Narrative semiotics. In order to know meaning and its structure, Greimas tried to achieve the universal grammar of Narrative language. In the analysis of Narrative texts, Greimas’; actantial pattern is more flexible than the other Narrative patterns, findings its way to discourse action. In this paper, the Narrative analysis of The Symphony of the Dead in two levels of a) surface structure (or objective), and b) the deep structure (or abstract data), will be discussed based on Greimas’; theory of Narrative semiotics and his actantial pattern considering how structures are formulated. Stream of consciousness is the most important feature of this novel through which the narrator breaks the unity of time and place with a realistic view in creating his characters. The study borrows a descriptive-analytical method; the main questions are how the plot of this novel with its surrealistic space can be analyzed based on Greimas’; theory of Narrative semiotics, and which factors of discourse play role in the production of meaning based on the Greimas’; actantial model.
