Abstract:
The linguistic analysis of the texts which are written in naturalistic style helps to understand the close association of the characters’ living with the structure and functions of the language by which they are speaking. The most important matter in the speech of naturalistic characters is the opposition of the literate and illiterate characters’ languages. In such a kind of naturalistic context, characters, because of social and financial problems are deprived of having education and schooling, and this is reflected in the oral-based speech of them. Sadeq Chubak, the Iranian contemporary so-called naturalist story-writer, in his works is delicately concerned with the miserable, wretched and full of ignorance life of the men who are incapable of providing the essentials of living. Mohammad Mahmoud, in his Ph.D disseratation provides patterns for naturalistic language; in this paper, after outlining those patterns, with the focus on Sang e Sabour, Antari ke Lutiash Morde bud, and Kheymeh shab-bazi, we will analyze the naturalistic language of the works written by Chubak. The purpose of this paper is to study those constant and repetitive elements of naturalistic language which are playing an essential role in the form and content of Chubak’s novels and stories.
Machine summary:
Naturalistic Discourse in Fiction: A Stylistic Study of the Language of Underprivileged Characters in a Novel and Two Short Story Collections by Sadegh Chubak Mahsa Manavi * Behrouz Mahmoudi Bakhtiari ** Abstract The study of the hidden and internal layers of language can provide a transparent and realistic image of the world of characters, their speech, and their actions in literary texts.
Since then, naturalist writers have endeavored to use the same sentences and expressions in conveying the dialogue of each character that the real-life example of that character uses in society, and this is one of the most important aspects of the realism of naturalists; as Emile Zola also clarifies in an article titled "Naturalism in the Theatre": "What I want in the theatre to see, is a summary of colloquial language" (Seyyed Hosseini, 2002: 412).
As one of the pioneers of modern storytelling in Iran, Chobak introduces a new language into Iranian fiction, a language that is natural and unadorned, strikingly employs colloquial words and phrases in an oral manner, and pays attention to the role of each story element in its overall structure, as well as the cohesion and mutual connection of these elements (see Mirabedini, 1389: 188).
In this article, a number of Chobak's short stories, along with the novel "The Patient Stone," have been studied based on criteria that validate the naturalistic nature of the work from a linguistic perspective.
