| Popis: | George Eliot’s second novel “The Mill on the Floss” is an autobiographical novel, specifically,a contrapuntal bildungsroman, an Aristotelian tragedy. As a research combining literature and linguistics, studying “The Mill on the Floss” as a significant piece of literature from the lens of linguistics, the research aims to identify some of the figures of speech suggested as per a checklist by Leech and Short (2007) in “The Mill on the Floss”by George Eliot. It further aims to investigate how figures of speech create foregrounding. Moreover, it aims to explore the effects that the figures of speech usage have on the psychology of merely not the characters employing them but as well on the psychology of the readers. The research holds significance for the students and for literary critics interested in exploring the works of George Eliot,highlighting the inter dependency of literature and linguistics. |
