Lošťák, Dalibor ; Činátlová, Blanka (advisor) ; Storchová, Barbara (referee)
This paper presents the methodology and theory needed for a narratologically and linguistically oriented comparation of chosen texts that belong to different declared genres, eventhough they do share a substancial amount of characteristics in the author's opinion. This methodological and linguistic apparatus is then used for a brief pilot study of the specific texts with a special regard to correspondence and difference in the language and narration of these texts. The key metodological instrument presented in this paper is the contruction of the continuum defined by the abstract opposites of "instrumental" and "literary" language and then relating of this continuum to the theory of information. The paper presents narratological approach oriented towards the relation of science, narration and society as a theoretical basis for the study of character of narration in the chosen texts. The outcome of the pilot comparation, based on this theoretical and methodological apparatus, is in the grasping of language and narration in the compared texts with regard to the idea of ideal text and its characteristics. Keywords: sociology, novel, language, narration
