Authors : Bouguelmouna Ahlam . Benzoukh Halima .
Abstract
Stylistics’ primary interest is to examine literary texts from a linguistic angle. It highlights the formal characteristics in a text using certain systematic models. The present paper falls into the Modern English Literature. It throws light on the lexico-semantic features in James Joyce’s novel, Ulysses. This inquiry aims to identify the main lexico-semantic features and to interpret Joyce’s motives behind using them. The two researchers use Leech and Short’s model of analysis. Careful reading of the novel reveals Joyce’s varied applications of general lexicon such as colloquialism, nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs that construct unique meanings in the text and evoke novel’s themes. Analyzing the semantic level shows Joyce’s employment of tropes such as metaphor, metonymy and irony along with neologism.
