Résumé : |
This research work entitled “Voice into Text: the Linguistic and Cultural Aspects of
Orality in Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Ellison’s Invisible Man" endeavors
to study the linguistic and cultural aspects of orality throughout the novels of Hurston’s Their
Eyes Were Watching God and Ellison’s Invisible Man. This five-chapter thesis focuses on the
key concepts of orality and Ebonics as an African-American dialect. The first part of the work
recalls some aspects of the African-American literature. The second part includes a literary
analysis of both novels, accompanied by a thematic and a stylistic study for each. The third
part deals with the analysis of Ebonics at the phonological, grammatical and lexical levels as
well as with the different aspects of the Black oral culture within both novels. A comparative
study between the two novels concludes this thesis. In brief, this thesis shows how Hurston
and Ellison; by integrating orality into their novels, were able on one hand to preserve their
Black oral culture and on the other hand to enrich the American literature. |
