The paper discusses the thesis that »the insight into the event character of everything that is« (Tengelyi) is the key to understanding the most recent developments in French phenomenology. In this article, I distinguish between and explain three different concepts of event which function in ontological, semiotic and theological discourses and which express the event character of being, meaning and existence. These three concepts of event cannot be traced back to each other or something else. Hence philosophical and theologi cal discourses of event comply with different event grammars.
