dc.description.abstractAbstract This study sets out to examine the stylistic elements in George Orwell’s novel 1984 and essay "Politics and the English Language" employed to drive home his message of "language and power". The study is also conducted to uncover the non-fictional stylistic elements existing in his fictional work. This study examines as well, style as linguistic choice as employed by George Orwell in the text. To reach fathomable results, this work employs a content analysis based on the checklist of leech and short (1981) that incorporates lexical categories, grammatical categories, cohesion and context. The findings display that lexical items like nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs, convey Orwell's interest in abstract terms related to cognition. The grammatical categories demonstrate Orwell interest in clear simplistic sentences and structure. Usage of cohesion indicates his style in telling facts using clear sequential patterns. Lastly, context shows the difference between the texts in terms of point of view and directness of conveying an idea. Analyzing those elements reflects Orwell’s usage of the journalistic style while forging his fictional work 1984.
