الزمن السردي في رواية (المنحدر Dik Bayır)‎ للكاتب (نائل عباس صايار Nail Abbas Sayar)‎

Abstract EN

The element of time is one of the central elements in which all narrative works revolve.

a literary work can only be fully understood in the context of time, as it permeates the entire text, and cannot be extracted separately like other narrative elements such as place and characters.

additionally, the influence of time surpasses and exceeds the text and expresses the author’s vision to the world.

this is because human feelings and visions differ from one era to another.

further, this is the main reason for the creation of different forms of literary works in different eras.

accordingly, this study aims to monitor the temporal techniques used by the writer (Abbas Sayar) in the novel (the slope) and its implications, by applying Gérard Genette’s theories regarding the temporal paradoxes, rhythm and frequency.
