Keywords:

The implied author is not a uniform concept because of the variety of its definitions. The article examines the use of the term implied author introduced by Wayne C. Booth and his subsequent reconceptualizations in Slovenia. The paper includes an original synthesis of the theories of the implied author focusing on the key older and modern theories, which shows their differences. The author highlights the problematic areas of each type of the concepts. She sheds light on understanding of the implied author as a reader-generated construct, which is seen as the most reasonable view and it is prevalent in contemporary debates.Downloads
