"smooth", "flowing": connotation of smoothness and natural ebb and flow, "surface": negative connotation of missing what is underneath the surface, "imperceptibly": connotation of something hidden, something imperceptible. ******HEM. ""naturalness" of ordinary language": Is ordinary language and narration natural? Why does Barthe put in "naturalness" in quotes. Is it because he does not actually believe ordinary language is natural? Then what is? If Barthes' implications are taken into account, is the act of starring a text actually what is natural?"

*&**&***REF. "sentences": Common knowledge that literature, speech, etc. are formed by strings of words termed sentences, "narration": the character/voice who tells a story, "Negative connotation": Instead of positive connotation, there is also negative connotation that is meant to induce a negative emotion in a reader. ****HEM.
