摘要：This paper on Umberto Eco＇s contribution to the narration process, tries to identify the mainstream of modem studies of the text. I have tried to separate it as an entity, which together with other textual techniques and strategies shall create applicable theoretical messages towards an artistic creation. Eco＇s （1994） work itself, gives an opportunity to exemplify his theoretical claims. Using my examples, I have tried to show how a work of art can be rendered narrative, a subject to contemporary techniques and cooperativeness with the reader. One of the main issues I have explained is the time factor, seen from the linguistic and semiotic prospective. I consider that Eco＇s treatment of the relation between reality and fiction is of a semiotic nature. One of the main elements it contains （and definitely makes such a difference possible）, is the time factor. The delay （lingering） part treats works of art separately, and gives one of the ways to render artistic works readable, worth having an aesthetic value, in their way to transmitting a message to the audience.

摘要：符号学是研究意义的学科,而意义是在交流过程中获得的,也就是说,交流过程是符号学研究的重要领域。本文探讨了语言符号学、结构主义符号学和功能主义符号学方法中的主观性和客观性,试图指出,符号学研究的这几种重要方法可以为人类文化的多种现实区分提供元方法论,并且以艺术现实的主观性和客观性为例,来论证了符号学研究方法的有效性。
