Abstract
In his narrative typology, Lintvelt has classified narrative texts into three types: textual, action-oriented, and neutral, based on their narrative macrostructure. These narrative types differ in terms of their perceptual-psychological basis (narrative perspective, perspective depth, narrative aspect, temporal basis, spatial basis, and verbal basis) and affect the text's emotional, cognitive, and discursive generalization dimensions. The study based on the narrative typology theory of Lintvelt, attempts to analyze the frequency of textual, action-oriented, and neutral narrative types in the Poetry of Lily and Majnoon Jami and its discursive applications. The study shows that this poem has a similar narrative framing (preface and conclusion) to other Persian poems, which are narrated in a similar fictional world. . The beginning of the story occurs in a heterogeneous story world, which can be divided into three types of narrative: textual, action-oriented, and neutral. The textual narrative type in a heterogeneous story world, based on having a time and place base outside the story, has the characteristics of self-awareness, god-likeness, and interpretation, and its discourse is of a cognitive type. The action-oriented narrative type is manifested in the conversation between the characters of the story, who have the same time and place base as the story, and the discursive function of the main characters in this type of narrative is emotional-cognitive, the discursive function of the secondary characters is generalized. The neutral narrative type is also used to describe the space and situation and to describe the states of the main characters of the story,
