A pragmatic reading of Henrik Ibsen \A Doll's House\ and Alaa - Alaswani's \Yacoubian Building\
2023
Overview
Nowadays, Pragmatics has become the main preoccupation of many researchers since it proves tremendous viability and practicability for analyzing literary texts. Yule (1996) introduces many definitions that reckon on the context of the situation or what is called the circumstances surrounding the utterance. The problem of the present study is how power is produced through using linguistic devices by both Henrik Ibsen and Alaa Al-Aswani. For the purpose of analysis, the researcher adopts Searle (1979) model of speech acts as well as Brown and Levinson (1987) model of politeness. Therefore, this research aims at revealing how Speech Act Theory and Politeness Strategies affect the fluctuation of power between the pivotal characters upon which the analysis is based, namely Busayna in Yacoubian Building and Nora in A Doll's house. The results of the analysis unravel how pivotal characters develop their personalities from weak to strong through the linguistic choices they utilize. In addition, the authors of both literary works use the same linguistic tools to convey their implicit ideas, massages, and perspectives without being arrested or persecuted.
