THE CHARACTERS’ SPEECH PECULIARITIES IN THE J. WORTH’S NOVEL «CALL THE MIDWIFE»
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the phonetic, stylistic, grammatical and syntactic features of the characters speech in Jennifer Worth’s novel “Call the Midwife”. All identified linguistic phenomena perform certain functions in the novel (a means of expressiveness, a means of creating the effect of live speech, etc.). An analysis of different language levels allows us to conclude that in the language of the characters the author reproduced a special Cockney dialect, which is typical for the inhabitants of the East End, a unfortunate area of London. The use of the dialect helps the author to create a vivid image of the indigenous population of the East End, whose representatives are found in the novel.
