Abstract
The present thesis aims at analyzing the psychological language of the feminine gender’s interior monologue in Dorothy Miller Richardson’s (1873-1957) works from a pragmatico-sociolinguistic perspective. Why Dorothy Miller Richardson? It is as simple as that. Although Richardson has transformed the modern novel as the pioneer author to employ the stream of consciousness, she has been neglected for a long time. This thesis is a step ahead on the sure path of reclaiming Richardson’s neglected works. This thesis has focused on the choice of language in social interaction and the effects of this choice on others. It is a systematic way of explaining language use in context. As an interdisciplinary field of language study, socio-pragmatics is fairly new. As an interdiscipline, it embraces a number of components such as conversational implicature, the cooperative principle, deixis, speech acts, feminist language, gender and sexism, feminist or sexist language, address terms, among others. It provides an analysis of the dominant linguistic features that highlight major issues in Dorothy Miller Richardson’s works from a pragmatico-sociolinguistic perspective. Pragmatics is the area of language function that embraces the use of language in social contexts (knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it - and how to ”be” with other people). Sociolinguistics studies the relationship between language and society and how the social structures, in which language users live, affect the use of different language forms. The thesis is divided into the following chapters: Chapter One: Introduction and Literature Review Chapter Two: Deixis and the Psychological Sentence of the Feminine Gender Chapter Three: Implicature and Richardson’s Feminist and Sexist Attitude to Language Chapter Four: Speech Acts and Richardson’s Bending of some Linguistic Rules in the Psychological Language of the Feminine Gender’s Interior Monologue Chapter Five: Conclusion and Summary of the findings of the thesis.
