A stylistic analysis of Jane Austen's pride and prejudice

Abstract EN

This paper selects the great British novelist Jane Austen's work pride and prejudice as a text to apply two linguistics theories : Halliday's (1994 ; 2014) processes of transitivity and fowler-Uspensky Model of Point of View to emphasize more how the linguistics theories open further gates to the reader in understanding the British society at the end of the eighteen century and early nineteen century, as the selected theories reveal many aspects in human nature such as the psychological and ideological aspects.

moreover, because of the lack of space, the researchers analyze only four different sketches from all over the novel to reach a general understanding of the use of these two theories in Austen's work.
