Thymic
Situated on the deep level of an utterance, the thymic category relates to the world of feeling and of emotions. It spans the notion made up by the two poles euphoria versus dysphoria and forms the basis of positive/negative evaluation. In other words, it gives rise to an axiological system - a characteristic of all discourse. To give an example: believing a statement to be true involves not only weighing what is being said for its accuracy but also evaluating it positively.
In recent years attention has been focused on the thymic dimension of narrative. This relates to the feelings of euphoria or dysphoria (i.e. pleasant or unpleasant) experienced by the actors. In other words, the thymic dimension, on the narrative level, is concerned with states of mind (etats d'dme) or feelings rather than with actions (which belong to the pragmatic dimension) or knowledge concerning these actions (which belongs to the cognitive dimension).
When undertaking semiotic analysis, these states of mind or feelings can be correlated with the stages of a narrative programme. They can, for example, describe a state of disjunction or of conjunction with the object of value. In the fairy-tale Cinderella, the young girl's lack of means and of family sympathy is expressed in her disjunction from these objects of value as well as in her feeling of unhappiness that accompanies the disjunction. Equally, Cinderella's conjunction with the prince, her love, at the end of the tale also shows the transformation of her unhappiness into joy being accomplished.
