This thesis aims at clarfying communicative structure of literary text. In this paper, I focus on the 'GUBO' texts. According to the reception theory, the substance of literature is not only the printed text but also mutual action between writer and the readers. The 'text' is newly produced as a 'work' by the readers. Reception theory base on horizon of expectation for readers's understanding and appreciation of the literary text. Concreation of text is based on reader's horizon of expectation. The structure of reception is complex. Reception text is the result that interaction of horizons. Reading act needs the transmission of horizon, reconstruction of horizon, conversion of horizon(Horizontwandel), fusion of horizon(Verschmelzung der Horizont). From that point of view, experiential character of literature is thought be important. Now, the reader must set up stratage of communication and schema.
