Birthday party and one for the road: Reading from the stylistic perspective

Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper aims to demonstrate some strengths and limitations of linguistic and discourse-based methodologies applied in the analysis and interpretation of texts which have been used for more than two decades. It argues that the interplay/contribution of linguistic and literary dimensions in the text organization is consensual. Pinter’s The Birthday Party (1958) and One for the Road (1984) are analysed and interpreted from the perspective of language dimensions, pragmatic functions, dialogic and polyphonic structure. ÖzetÇalışma, yirmi yıldan fazla bir süredir metinlerin incelenmesinde ve yorumlanmasında uygulanan ve kullanılan dilbilimsel ve söylem temelli metodolojilerin bazı güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.  Bu çalışma ayrıca, metin organizasyondaki dilsel ve edebi boyutların etkileşiminin ve katkısının fikir birliğine dayalı olduğunu tartışmaktadır.  “Pinter’ın The Birthday Party” (1958) ve “One for the Road” (1984) oyunları, dil boyutu, pragmatik fonksiyonlar, diyalog ve polifonik yapı bakımından yorumlanıp analiz edilmiştir.
