Volume : I, Issue : III, April - 2011 A Discourse Analysis of Arundhati Roy's The God Of Small Things Prabhavati A. Patil DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : 'For me language is a skin on my thought and
was thinking of way of telling… I wrote it… the way an
architect designs a building', says Arundhati Roy about
THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS, the Booker Prize Winner
novel in 1997. The present paper is an attempt made to
analyze Roy's experiments with language. It assesses the
linguistic deviations in Roy's use of literary language. The
novel is remarkable for the linguistic innovations about
which Shomit Miller says, 'the book uses language in a way
that is rare… very rarely do you get someone who can tear
apart the rules and give you something that is fresh and not
pretentious'. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Prabhavati A. Patil, (2011). A Discourse Analysis of Arundhati Roy's The God Of Small Things. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue.
