Abstract AR
تختلف لغة الأدب إلى حد ما عن اللغة الشائعة (المتداولة) بين الناس بوصفها مليئة بالزياحات, أي بمعنى الانحراف عن النمط اللغوي السائد على رأي عالم اللغة (برات) حيث يؤكد أن اللغة المتداولة تستند إلى معايير شائعة بين المتكلمين تتوائم هذه المعايير مع معايير اللغوي الشهير (كرايس) التي تتناول أصول و معايير الخطاب. يتناول البحث وظائف الزمن المضارع و آلية تأثيرها في الجنس القصصي على القارئ, على هذا يلجأ معظم الكتاب إلى تغيير الزمن من الماضي إلى المضارع البسيط لأجل أن يكون النص مشوقا, في هذا الصدد يبدو أن الكاتب يلجأ في بعض الأحيان إلى استخدام المضارع البسيط لإلقاء الضوء على بعض المشاهد و نقدها بشكل محايد عما يجري في ثنايا النص.
Abstract EN
It is normally known that '' literary language ''is different from ordinary language ''.
That is, it is full of deviation, while Part, (1977 : 80) maintains that ordinary language ''is accompanied" by ordinary rules, and outlines the work of Grice (1975) concerning the appropriate conditions that accepting a particular illocution-conditions which language users assume to be in effect.
In this study, the present tense is not referred to as an indication to the moment of speaking or action.
Rather, in narratives, it signals that this genre is ''unmediated''.
As such, the present tense is heavily used by writers, regardless of the time being, to signify that a text can be read at any time.
Moreover, it can be noted, that the shift from the past to the simple present tense offers readers an opportunity to think seriously of what is being said.
It, thus, invites thought and suspense.
As far as the writer is concerned, it seems that the writer resorts to the simple present tense just to comment highlight and criticize some incidents or events within the story.
