A LINGUISTIC STUDY OF INFLUENCER LANGUAGE AND NARRATIVE DISCOURSE IN “A ROSE FOR EMILY” BY WILLIAM FAULKNER
Keywords:
influencer language, narrative discourse, collective narration, discourse analysis, social influenceAbstract
Through a linguistic examination of William Faulkner’s short tale “A Rose for Emily”, this study investigates the idea of influencer language within narrative discourse. The collective narrator (“we”) serves as an early kind of influencer discourse, influencing public opinion, moral judgment, and social standards within the community, even though the story takes place before contemporary social media. This study examines how language creates authority, influence, and social control through discourse analysis, narrative voice analysis, and pragmatic interpretation. The results show that by framing events, directing audience interpretation, and bolstering prevailing views, the town’s collective voice functions similarly to modern influencers.
