Formulation of a Remarkable Stylistic Approach: A Study Based on Ali Smith’s Hotel World

Abstract

Language employed by a writer has the potential to add literary qualities to a specific text. Language refers to the style that a writer, poet or playwright chooses to add more beauty and charm to the particular literary work. Ali Smith’s style of writing determines the mood and feelings of the characters and the passage of time. The grammatical expressions that Smith employs in her novel give extra details related to the narratives and characters. This paper attempts to analyze how Ali Smith modifies the actual style of a traditional work by constructing a different kind of language in the novel Hotel World. The paper also explores the writer’s subversion of normal conventions while highlighting language in the selected work.
