Towards the formulation of the narrative presupposition and its relation with the ordinal and cardinal progression in historical discourse.

Abstract

Starting from the principie of logical ordering and through a process of "configuration," this article will describe some of the possible transformations that a story undergoes in its narrative development. Likewise, throughout the analysis the elements of a constructive character will be established for the ordinal articulation of an "accumulative hierarchy" of the events belonging to a story forming complex discursive macrounits that are susceptible to be visualized globally by means of "narrative sketches."
