The set of signs characterizing the narrator and, more generally, the narrating instance, and governing the relations between narrating and narrative text as well as between narrating and narrated. Voice has a much larger extension than person and, though often amalgamated or confused with point of view, should be distinguished from it: the latter provides information about who "sees," who perceives, whose point of view governs the narrative, whereas the former provides information about who "speaks," who the narrator is, what the narrating instance consists of. (Genette 1980, 1983; Rimmon 1976). (Prince, 1987, p. 102-103)
