Abstract:
|
|
Critical Discourse Stylistics is an approach to text processing which relates the functions of linguistic structures to particular worldviews, ideologies in the social context of texts. Such an approach requires laying bare what is ideologically embedded in linguistic forms and what values are assigned to particular choices of language use.
The corpus of data contained within this dissertation comprises 16 short stories by Sabahattin Ali, a well-known Turkish writer, written between 1925-1947. A close reading of these short stories reveal that certain realities, shared views, socio-cultural, historical, and political references are constructed by linguistic and extra-linguistic structures. In other words, each story has its own ‘text world’ that points to some social and cultural practices, which are indicative of an ideology.
Through critical discourse stylistic analyses of the corpus of data, the linguistic structures which Sabahattin Ali chose to use in the production of the ideological message reflected through the stories, are investigated, described, and specified. Consequently, these systematized structures are interpreted and explained in the socio-cultural and political context of the early Republican period in Turkey.
