narracyjny

Narracyjny is an adjective in Polish meaning related to narration or the narrative. It is formed from the noun narracja (narration, story) with the suffix -czny. The term is used in literary studies, film theory and linguistics to describe aspects connected with telling a story.

In literature, narracyjny describes elements that concern the construction and presentation of a story rather than its descriptive detail. It appears in phrases such as styl narracyjny (narrative style), narracyjny sposób prowadzenia fabuły (narrative progression), and narracyjna perspektywa (narrative point of view). It can refer to the presence or absence of a narrator, the chosen point of view (first-person or third-person), and the organization of events in time (chronology, flashbacks, non-linear structure).

In film and other media, narracyjny denotes how the plot is conveyed to the audience, including the use of voice-over, sequencing, and focalization. In linguistics and discourse analysis, it marks texts that function as narratives, distinguishing them from descriptive or argumentative discourse. The noun form narracyjność expresses the degree to which a text operates narratively, its narrativity.

Related terms include narracja (narration), narratologia (narratology) and narracyjność (narrativity). The concept is widely used in Polish scholarly discussions on how stories are built and perceived across genres.
