About this title

Synopsis

Scientific Study from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, University of Thi-Qar (College of Arts), language: English, abstract: The study explores the narrative viewpoints in Joyce's "The Dead" through an examination of deictic shifts. It contributes to an understanding of the type of cognitive mechanics Joyce employed to capture the reader's cognitive stance. The question regarding the nature of cognitive resources that create a parallel between the narrator, characters, and readers is investigated. The research highlights the role of POPs and PUSHes in portraying the narrative structure. The text is divided into three parts, and the shifts of deictic centers are schematically represented, with a focus on likely deictic foregrounding that has aesthetic functions.
