Abstract

Linguistic features of literary texts have been investigated from discourse, stylistic and semantic perspectives to discover the prevailing theme, characterization and registers. Many of such studies have employed the phonological and graphological features as complementary tools. However, not much has been done in the of the use of both the graphological and phonological characteristics as major tools for identifying the nature of the context and characters in relation to the theme of the text, as will be explored in Childe Internationale within this study. Moreover, linguistics being a scientific study of language which can either be in the written or the oral forms, a language study can combine the phonic as well as the graphic features of a text for explicit and comprehensive analysis. Incidentally, a drama text combines both the spoken and the written levels of expressing meaning in language because similar to the nature of movies, drama texts are written to be spoken by naturalizing the sentences, not merely reciting them. Therefore, a graphological cum phonological analysis of Childe Internationale is crucial to explicating the unique thematic imports of the text. Thus, this paper is expected to enrich the explictness and relevance of the text through the graphological features of foregrounding, stage directions, capitalization, and phonological features of pronunciation in terms of segmental features and tone in the text. Through the sociological approach, this work will explicate the inherent cultural make-up, and beliefs of the individual characters, and the values that they represent by exploring their use of language.
