Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the symbolism in William Faulkner's famous novel Light in August. It allows other students and researchers to recognize these symbols from a syntactic and communicative perspective. It reveals the history and use of symbolism in literature. It also shows how symbolism differs from other concepts such as signs, metaphors, and allegories. The data will be analyzed according to the electrical model mentioned in the study. Therefore, syntactic symbols are identified through syntactic stylistic devices (repetition, polysemy, omission, parallelism, parentheses, and phonetic symbols), as shown in Figure (1). Communicative situational strategies are implemented using grammatical features, as shown in Figure (2).
