Abstract. The paper outlines the current narratological approach to the category of subject and its discoursal realization in the form of subjectivity. It states a strong interconnection between the real life narrativization and fictional narrative. Resulting from the dialogical nature of “self” the indexes of subjectivity have been traced through a three-level Peircian sign model. The results provided us with the reasons to suppose that deictic centers have a binary correlation with the emergence of subjectivity in the narrative, which partly coincides with the narrative identity phenomenon viewed from the post-classical paradigm of meaning-making.
