The study proposes a descriptive vocabulary to encompass the diverse range of variants of polyphony in narrative texts. Along with the genetical system, it establishes categories that enable a differentiated classification of various forms of assertions. The analyses are undertaken from a comparative viewpoint in order to emphasize the translatability of the categories to other national philologies.
