Person

[12]; [13]; [24]

Designations of "person" in narrative theory are concerned with the relationship between a participant in a narrated event (a character in a story) and a participant in the event of narration (the narrator or narratee of a story).  In homocommunicative narratives, such as first-person and second-person narratives, communication between the narrator and narratee takes as its subject either the narrator or the narratee.  In other words, "A" communicates to "B" about "A," or "A" communicates to "B" about "B."  In heterocommunicative narratives, such as those narrated in the third-person, communication between the narrator and the narratee is concerned with a non-participant in the narrative act: "A" communicates to "B" about "C."
