Abstract EN
Violence can be defined as any physical or verbal force which causes harm.
It is a common human behavior particularly during times of crises or wars; however it occurs in various types such as physical, verbal, sexual, domestic … etc.
It is noticed that the language of society is highly affected by violence, numerous violence words are included within daily life language of Iraqi society because of wars and difficult conditions they have faced during the recent history namely after wars in (1980,1991, and 2003).
The Iraqi writer Ahmed Saadawi makes use of this subject when he writes his International Arabic Booker Prize winner 2014 novel "Frankenstein in Baghdad" to show how Iraqi individuals' language and ideology are a reflection of their violence situations.
The writer tries to explain that different Iraqi social classes as well as sects are affected in one way or another because of the violence conditions.
In this research the selected examples from the novel have been analyzed according to Ken Hyland's Model 2005 of Metadiscourse which explains the relationship between the writer and his text on one hand and the writer and his readers on the other.
