Linguistic Experimentation in James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. A Journey into the Joycean Language Labyrinths

Document from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This book aims at surveying the most outstanding dimensions of Joyce's aesthetic employment of language and investigating some of the technical difficulties ascribed to such an artistic employment. Many attempts have been made to assimilate the enormous linguistic revolution set by Joyce through Ulysses. Nonetheless, it is not that much easy to cope with the innovative aspects of the experimental and pioneering linguistic techniques involved especially by those who are not qualified enough with the pervasive side of Joyce' linguistic experimentation. The linguistic features of Ulysses are entirely new, innovative and often misunderstood. The moment it has been published it has stirred up so many critics to comprehend what Joyce has achieved altering the traditions of narrative writing once and forever.
