Summary/Abstract: This article explores the differences between two apparently similar theories – that of intertextuality and that of dialogism. These differences, Okopień-Sławińska argues, are rooted in different notions of the role of the subject: a negation of subjectivity (intertextuality) and its situatedness (dialogism). Assuming a perspective that is subjective and dialogic, Okopień-Sławińska proposes a hypothesis that sheds light on the mechanism of the hierarchical and multilayered structure of the work, as a specific arrangement of citations of different subjects’ statements (e.g. Okopień-Sławińska presents the narrative or lyric monologue as utterances cited by the subject of the work, i.e. the internal author, quite like the characters’ utterances quoted by the narrator). Thus Okopień-Sławińska expands on her earlier research on the communicative construction of a literary work.
