Abstract EN

Parentheticals are structures that are linearly embedded in another syntactic sequence without being syntactically integrated into it.

They come in different forms and are set apart from the host sentence by different punctuation marks.

They are known for performing various stylistic, semantic, and pragmatic functions (Dehé & Kavalova, 2007, pp.

1-2).

Henry James (1843-1916), the American-British author, is known for his rich production in addition to his idiosyncratic intensive use of parentheticals.

(Lanham, 2003, p.

235).

This paper investigates parentheticals marked with parentheses and dashes that are used to perform stylistic functions in Henry James' short story the Middle Years.

This constitutes a research gap that was not attempted before.

The data is gathered and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively.

This story is selected for its unique order in James' works marking the middle period of his literary production.

In addition, it was chosen for the predominant use of different types of parentheticals.
