the author’s narrative
, 
the character’s speech
 (which may take the form of 
either 
a dialogue
 or 
interior speech
, treated and studied separately) and the so-called 
represented
(re ported/half-reported) 
speech
, which is a fusion of the first two. 
The 
unfolding of the plot is mainly concentrated in the author’s narrative because any 
story is a narration which must have a narrator. Let us quote Maltzev who
characterizes this plane of an artistic text in the following way:

views and evaluations of the text, “serving the major and predominant force of textual

[47: 101]. 
We can differentiate between several types of the narrator’s discourse. The first 
is termed 
auctorial
(V.A.Maltzev), or authorial (D. Lodge). It is 
the narration told in 
the third person, by an impersonal narrator
. This type of narrator is often called
