Abstract
This thesis is to investigate Golding’s Lord of the Flies pragmatically.
It also provides a ground to speech acts, implicature, and presupposition. It is taken for granted that language is used only in a context. Context is generally seen as the ’environment’ or ’circumstances’ in which language is used. Undoubtedly, literary works need linguistic interpretations to reveal the hidden meanings in particular literary texts. Literature, on the one hand, is viewed as one form of interpersonal communication and is fundamentally affected by the sociocultural circumstances of the writer’s context of writing and the current reader’s context of reading. This thesis is to investigate Golding’s Lord of the Flies to prompt the reader to draw particular social, cultural, political and psychological inferences.
This thesis falls into two main parts: The theoretical part comprises three chapters. Chapter one presents the introduction which includes the objectives of the study, data, the significance of the study, and the outline. The second chapter presents the theoretical preliminaries of the pragmatic aspects. Chapter three provides the novel. Part two, the application, comprises chapter four, chapters five and six. Chapter four is dedicated to trace the speech act theory. Chapter five provides the four maxims of Cooperative Principle according to Grice (1975) to demonstrate the main themes of the novel. Chapter six explores the use of shared presupposition in the literary discourse. This study reached to the importance of the pragmatic analysis to understand the literary text clearly.
