Fronted structures as a construal operation of ideologies in sherwood anderson's “i'm a fool” : a narrative discourse study

Abstract EN

Some discourse practices pay attention to how information is structured in the English clause.

Such structures are designed to provide syntactic possibilities that dramatically prioritize certain information according to the principles of importance and newness.

Information can be constructed textually, in terms of prioritization, to help expose presupposed implicit meanings that any writer chooses to structure in sentences.

Thus, the current research shows how fronting in language can carry ideological significance adopting Sherwood Anderson's “I'm a Fool” as an applicable sample.
