Abstract

The story of a “Snow”y road leading to the Nobel Prize in Literature: Orhan Pamuk's Snow Novel (2002); there is the relationship of an author’s typical literature with an original language and style. In this study, we will try to examine not himself but Orhan Pamuk’s writing style from the perspective of linguistic, rhetoric and stylistic approach. Because the most reliable way to respond to the criticisms regarding the author’s 2006 Nobel Prize for literature is only possible with a scientific study. How does the relation between language-thought or language-mind that constructs the textual patterns of the Nobel-winning author is reflected in the utterances in concrete terms? To highlight these questions, “Discourse analysis” method will be used. We are considering to make use of, in particular, the contemporary theories of French linguistics and rhetoric. The most important feature of these theories is to examine the “deictics/pointers/indicators” in the broad linguistic structures such as “utterance and discourse” by taking into consideration the enunciative relationship between them. The main purpose here is to demonstrate by concrete examples how effective the relation between form-meaning and speech-meaning can be, in constructing the discourse and the text. As a result, utterances form and linguistic signs with different structures and formations will be examined in depth by separating them into distinct categories with a multi-disciplinary perspective. This research, which aims to think about the concrete linguistic examples, and to contribute to the applied linguistic and stylistic field of study through an interdisciplinary approach.
