Semantic and Stylistic Analysis of Jack London’s Style

Аннотация

Based on American writer Jack London's tales “An Odyssey of the North” and “A Piece of Steak,” his stylistic elements are closely examined in this paper. Along with individual stylistic elements - lexical richness, metaphors, epithets, synonym-antonym pairs, psychological depth, and symbolism - the study examines the naturalistic and realistic paradigms of London’s work. Through metaphorical language, the author shows how London illuminated the intricate interaction between man and nature, personality and society. The study of the work reveals the originality of the London style as well as its richness of emotional and semantic layers. Keywords: Jack London, stylistic analysis, lexico-semantic features, metaphor, epithet, naturalism, realism, psychological depth.
