A Critical Stylistic Approach to Interior Monologue of Ahlam Mosteghanemi's Novel: Chaos of the Senses

Abstract

Critical stylistics investigates ideologies, ideas, and views in literary and texts, whether visible or hidden. It seeks to describe the linguistic choices made by speakers or authors in terms of their ideational viewpoints, thoughts, and meaning. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to conduct a critical stylistic analysis of interior monologues from Ahlam Mosteghanemi's novel (Chaos of the senses). Interior monologues are monologues or speeches delivered on stage by a single character conveying his or her thoughts and feelings. Ideology is expected to be present in all forms of language. Ahlam Mosteghanemi's language is thus assumed to have some of these ideologies inside its structure; but, what type of ideology may be discovered in Ahlam Mosteghanemi's interior monologue? Through the textual-conceptual functions suggested by Jeffries (2010), Critical Stylistics investigates what the text is doing. It is firstly hypothesized that: There is a typical interior monologue in depicting the characters. Secondly, there is an ideology or ideologies behind the analyzed literary texts like novels. The study concludes that Ahlam Mosteghanemi's language reflects a considerable deal of ideology, both hidden and obvious. 

However, they are exposed to the risks of military attacks in times of armed conflict, which represent a threat to their safety, so the rules of international humanitarian law have provided protection for these ports, as international conventions included texts that seek to protect them, as well as the rules contained in international custom that helped provide a kind of protection for them, in addition to the general principles of international law that can be applied to the situation of armed conflicts, which provides protection for these ports. Therefore, we will deal with the protection of seaports in two sections, the first section is devoted to the definition of seaports, while the second section is devoted to the sources of international protection of seaports.
