Abstract

The present paper aims at conducting a stylistic analysis with a strict focus on the language deployed by Arundhati Roy in her debut novel The God of Small Things. Resembling any practicable method of stylistic analysis, the researcher made the selection process vital for picking out the weightiest features to analyze and rule out the others left in the text. The paper carries out linguistic innovations in the novel by adopting for the selection of features related to the concept of foregrounding, as laid down by Mick Short in Exploring the Language of Poems, Plays and Prose. Short believes that the readers tend to be alert to items that are literary or linguistic salient. The paper makes the study of a psychological effect that is aroused by the features, such as, repetition of certain words and structures, are perceptually prominent and thus easily noticeable. The researcher makes the stylistic studies and elaborates on the relation between linguistic characteristics and the significances of the text manifested.
