Abstract


This thesis is a corpus-based study of the linguistic features in some selected short stories of the contemporary female Canadian feminist writer Alice Munro. These linguistic features are categorized into lexical and grammatical. The aim of the study is to analyze recurrent themes related to the deteriorated conditions of women throughout the twentieth century. The lexical analysis is carried out according to the Firthian Shcool of Linguistics lexical analysis. The grammatical analysis of the selected stories is based on Hallidayan Textual , Ideational, and Experiential Metafunctions. This is processed using Antconc 3.4.4 software and TAACO 1.5
