A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF ARUNDHATI ROY’S THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS

PRABHAVATI A. PATIL

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’.
