Arabic Abstract

توظف العلاقات الموضوعية لتسليط الضوء على بعض عناصر الجملة الانجليزية سواء كانت هذه العناصر فاعلا ام مفعول به في الجملة المعنية.

فهذه العلاقات تعد بمثابة منظومة من العلاقات الوظيفية داخل الجملة فهي في كثير من الاحيان تستعل للتركيز على دور الشخصيات في العمل الأدبي و في هذه الدراسة تم تطبيق العلاقات الموضوعية في رواية ( الحرف القرمزي ).

English Abstract

Thematic relations are used to focus on some elements in the sentence whether they are subjects or objects.

They are a system of structural relations.

They may, in some cases, concentrate on a character in a literary work.

Thematic relations, in the present study, have been scrutinized in Hawthrone’s novel The Scarlet Letter.

This study intends to show that some of the thematic relations indicate problems in understanding sentences which can pose a challenge especially for those who are interested in reading literary works.

The main goal the study attempts to reach is to find out the thematic relations which are employed in Hawthrone’s novel The Scarlet Letter.

The study adopts Halliday’s concepts in dealing with thematic descriptions employed in The Scarlet Letter.

By Halliday’s concepts, we mean thematic roles that are common in functional approach of linguistic studies.

To analyze these roles (functions), descriptive orientation has been taken for granted via exposing percentages and frequencies of the roles used in the novel.

As the study results illustrated, the writer employs the most frequent agent role as compared to other thematic roles , i.e.

patient, theme, location, instrument, goal, source, experiencer, and benefactive.

The study ends with a discussion of the results, a conclusion stating the significance of more investigation in this field and recommendations.
