Analization
Literary Piece: Analysing the through:
“The Jewels” style between 1) Lexical
by Guy de the lines of the 2) Grammar
Maupessant literary piece. 3) Figures of
Speech
4) Cohesion
 THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
In the search of characteristic feature of a
literary work, Roman Jakobson is the most influential
linguist of their time, competes that it is differentia
specifica, in other words “literarines” which make a
work a work of art.
Jakobson’s leading contribution to modern
stylistics, lies in his efforts to define the linguistic
criteria which determine the function that an utterance
has in communication.
 THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
According to Jakobson (1960), there are
numerous factors involved in any linguistic act and
which our central to the successful achievement of a
message and without which a message is incomplete,
these numerous factors are set towards: the
addressee, message, context, code and contract that
is, these factors correspond to the six functions which
language performs in any successful communicative
act.
 THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK

Each of which stands dominant if the emphasis is

placed upon one of the linguistic function and similarly
determines the verbal structure of a message
 THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
This schematization of the factors of verbal
communication is represented in the following diagram:
CONTEXT

ADDRESSER ----- MESSAGE ---- ADDRESSEE

CONTACT
CODE
 THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK

The addresser emits a message to the

addressee practically the message requires a context.
Then comes the code the verbal channel that
establishes a stay in communication.
 METHOD OF RESEARCH

This study used a stylistic analysis as the actual

approach. The short story entitled The Jewels became
the basis for this study. This stylistic analysis was the
divided according to the lexical categories,
phonological, syntactical, and semantic features that
are used in the story.
 METHOD OF RESEARCH

The researchers read the story based on the

resources that they have gathered. The stylistic
analysis was categorized into four: lexical categories,
grammar, foregrounded features, and cohesion &
context. The textual details were analysed thoroughly.
