Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the importance of determining the relationship between sentence- -level devices and narrative discourse for narrative theory. This issue is of special significance in the studies of aphasic language which often demonstrates a relative preservation of narrative discourse in spite of a disruption of sentence level devices. A theoretical account of this phenomenon could be determined provided that the relative role of specific sentence devices could be related to temporal-causative organization and evaluative structures necessary for construction of narrative discourse.
