THE MAIN PECULIARITIES OF DISCOURSE MARKERS IN “A ROSE FOR EMILY” BY WILLIAM FAULKNER
Keywords:
discourse markers, literary discourse, narrative structure, cohesion and coherence, William Faulkner, A Rose for Emily.Abstract
This paper explores the distinctive features and functions of discourse markers in William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily.” Discourse markers play an essential role in shaping narrative organization, guiding readers through shifts in time, and subtly influencing interpretation. By examining temporal, additive, contrastive, and inferential discourse markers, the study demonstrates how Faulkner constructs a complex narrative voice and maintains coherence within a fragmented storyline. The analysis reveals that discourse markers are not merely structural tools but also contribute significantly to the psychological depth and thematic richness of the story.
