Narrative programme
The term narrative programme (programme narratif, PN) refers to the abstract representation of syntactical relationships and their trans formation on the surface level of the utterance.
There are two basic forms of narrative utterances. The first one expresses a state of being/possessing: Jack is rich; John has money. This is an enonce narratif d'etat. The second type of utterance relates to a doing/action: John works hard; Jack gives money to John. This is an enonce narratif de faire. A narrative programme consists in one utterance relating to action (enonce de faire} affecting two utterances of state (enonces d'etat) as a result of transforming a state of being/possessing:
In textual analysis, the application of the model of narrative programmes is useful when concentrating on particular aspects of a story. Thus in Cinderella, we can analyse the fairy godmother's gifts to the heroine in these terms: the fairy godmother (subject of doing) causes poor Cinderella (subject of state) to be conjoined with an object of value (coach, clothes) which unlike her sisters she does not possess. This narrative sub-programme (PN d 'usage) can be linked to the basic or macro narrative programme (PN de base) of the entire fairy-tale because the fairy godmother's gifts are necessary so that Cinderella (subject of lack) may be conjoined with the objects of wealth, love and happiness at the end of the story.
