Abstract
One of the main elements of every narrative is the element of time, so that narration
is based on its timing. Gerard Jenet is the greatest narrative time theorist, who looks
at three determinations of order, frequency, and continuity. Frequency, which
examines the repetition of narrative elements, is divided into three single, repeated
and recurrent types. In this research, which has been carried out through a library
and analytical and descriptive method, we have examined the frequency and
function of it in the works of Alawi and Sa'edi. The results of the research show that
both authors use different types of frequency in their stories. The dominant
frequency on their stories is singular frequency. Other types of frequency are also
visible in these works, including frequent frequent functions in these stories,
emphasis, expression, space and attention and pity, including the functions of
concise frequency in them, the personification and expression of the definition of
affairs. In general, it should be said that the operation of frequency types is more
diverse in Alawi's works.
